This is a short, thin, trad crack close to FS 550. I named it Shotgun Express because it is short and I found a shotgun shell at the base. If you know the real name and FA info, please e-mail. I find it hard to believe I got the FA, since it is so close to the road. I found this boulder after getting lost trying to find A-hole rock. While some may consider it a high-ball boulder problem, it is better led. The bottom doesn't lend itself to a crash pad and the crux is at the top.
Location
Go south on the Colorado trail for about 150 yards. Follow a old grown over jeep trail that veers left (south) for about 5-10 minutes. 13S0476906 4354473 on my GPS.
Protection
Nuts, TCUs, to a #0.75 Camalot. I used 2 #1 Camalots for the anchor.
I lead this about a year ago. I call the area Tweaker Rocks because there was a guy living there cooking meth about 6 years ago. I call the line to the right One Last Fix 5.9. It was my last climb of the day after bouldering a few hours in the area.
