Description Follow the crack to the right of "Dire Spire".
Protection Pro up to #3 Camalot, nice crack systems, may require some gardening.

| Climbed this on Sunday and I would easily say this is not 5.8 but maybe 5.7 and the route with the crack that is rated 5.9 looks like 5.8 |

| We climbed this route yesterday (I think, if it is the middle of three parallel cracks in the rock photo). This is a nice, moderate line with a fun crack jamming crux. No need for a bolted anchor on the top, there is a great gear belay on a nice pedestal right under the summit. It is easy to descend to the west. |

| There are some really nice, fun lines on this crag. Very easy to protect, used nothing but nuts and hexes. Good route to practice trad leading. Easy access (other than crossing the river) and the descent from the backside is ultra-pleasant. If only it was a couple of pitches instead of one relatively short one. Worth doing if you are crag hopping along the St Vrain.

| A fun route with some good cracks. At the top, I traversed left to the two-bolt anchor atop the Center Slab route.Worth doing, but not a two-star route.
A good but not great route. |
