The first crux on Smears for Fears.


Description 

One of the sweetest slab routes in red Rocks. Even though this is bolted one should view it as a trad climb as the bolts are fairly far apart and were put in on lead at available stances. The first crux comes about 15 feet up. The next crux is clipping and climbing above the last bolt. Long fall potential here if you skitter off. Once you get your hands on the ledge a quick mantle will slow the heart rate back down and easy 5th class to the anchor.


Location 

The obvious bolted slab 100' right of Lebanese Jojo.


Protection 

Bolts and a couple of small pieces right off the ground.
