Mission Impossible 

Open Project:
This thing is hard, if you're gunning for it go get it! Tell your friends and spread the word, one of the hardest lines in Clear Creek is open for all to try!! So, who's gonna accept the mission?!

• I have no idea how hard this thing is, I don't climb this hard yet. From a close inspection, it seems it could be hard 5.14, but I wouldn't be shocked if it landed in the lower .14 range. Of course, sometimes things look easier (or harder) from a rope....

I'm putting my money on jstar, if he is still around these parts.

Thanks, Jay!!! Although it may take the rest of my natural life to climb to the 1st bolt on this line having rapped this line before, I can vouch for is classic location and quality of stone. Can't wait to try it (on TR :-). Such a fantastic line should bring them in, man!! Can't wait to see it go!! Bolting this line is like fishing for hardmen!!! Good luck on this classic!!!!!!! Looks so gooooooddddd!!!!!!!!!

I predict this will be the new king line of Clear Creek. Time to start training, people, because this one has holds and will go down! The Front Range is lucky to have your vision and motivation for putting up new routes. A beautiful line, Jay!

Finally got a chance to try this rig yesterday. It's a cool line for sure. Could still use a little more cleaning, maybe move a bolt or two, but for the most part it's bomber and ready to go. I did all of the moves through the route but was somewhat stumped at the last bolt... the sun was setting and my patient belayer was losing her patience (understandably). Very hard move up top off an improbable sloper, but I suppose I could have missed something. Seems like putting it together will certainly be 8c / +(?). Very unique style! nice route. I'd return but I'm leaving the country in a few days and gotta wrap some other stuff up. I'd predict that D. Woods will tear through this thing quickly. Great vision!

Right on, Jonathan, thanks! I'm excited this is getting some attention and coming together! I'm more than happy to move any bolts you think are necessary, just let me know the new locations if you already have a good idea where they should go (I'm guessing bolt 5 needs to go right of the flat crimp). I'm glad this thing isn't getting cobwebbed and waiting years for me to do it! Can't wait to see some climbing go down, looks (and feels) crazy up there. I'm excited to see what you come up with! I can't believe it might be as hard as I originally thought either. Man, I'm psyched!!

The mission has been accomplished! I've heard that Daniel Woods climbed Mission Impossible earlier today - Congratulations, Daniel, nice work!

Yeah!! Way to go, Daniel!
