Description 

50 ft left of the A-frame roof (The Viper, aka The Wishbone) is a crack that leads to a common start for two 100 ft long, difficult routes. En Flagrante Bosch is the right side variation above the second bolt. This route delivers continuous 5.11 and 5.11+ climbing on slightly rough, pale sandstone. Unfortunately, the author of this line has kept a low profile, otherwise I would be the first to add another three star classic to his rack. Excellent climbing, good stone, and thoughtfully protected. The pump factor really starts to tick in approaching the bulge at 60 ft. This gorgeous line deserves to be climbed. Jeffco commissioners, open up this public land!

Protection 

A dozen draws and a 60 meter rope.
