Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment
|
|
Description Climb starts easy through a bad layer of rock before the first bolt, then Telluride conglomerate. The face is much steeper than it looks, so keep moving! Blaze through a roof up high and soon you'll be at the chains. This route is quite a pump-fest for the grade.
Location This is the 6th route down the pipeline. Starting on the face below the gigantic, bulbous roof 100+ feet up (not part of the climb).
Protection Bolts to chains. 60m rope gets you up and down just fine.

| Good route, starts easy for 2+ bolts, then gets steep and sustained. Close to a full 60m rope. Would put the rating closer to 10d/11a than 5.10. Pretty in-yer-face climbing the top 6 or 7 bolts. |

| This climb is outstanding! The first two bolts will keep you guessing, but the rest of the climb is defiantly in your face! Be ready for a ride! |
