Description 

Like most routes in Rifle, Noble Wife climbs much better than it looks.

Do the semi-difficult start of Call The Cops, then with a ledge looming below, making a hard, committing move to establish in the steep, blocky corner. Continue making awkward, strenuous, and off-balance moves until the angle eases off, and the climbing becomes more subtle, and technical.

Great route for anyone looking for something with a traditional feel.


Location 

Left of Call The Cops.


Protection 

Lot of quickdraws. The anchors have carabiners. A 60 meter rope will get you to the ground from the anchors.
