Description This is located on 'The Chicken Wall' of the 'Clock Tower'. Locate this route by walking uphill (left) to the second last set of bolts, just uphill past a dirty corner/groove system. Climb the face with sloping holds on great feet, past 7 bolts to the anchor, may be a little reachy for some but overall quite an enjoyable route.
Protection 7 bolts - 2 bolt anchor.

| Definitely more fluid and fun than the route to its left, Chicken Delight. Both are worth doing, though. |

| I agree with the above comment. Its more sustained, fluid, and enoyable. i don't think any one move was harder than the crux on Chicken Delight, though the overall sequence was tricky. Footwork and balance was the key. Good route. |

| This is an excellent pitch; one of the best sport 10s I've done in Boulder Canyon. Sustained and interesting from bottom to top. |

| This route is balancey, interesting, and fun. I didn't find it particularly reachy, and I'm 5'5". |

| Definitely worth the climb. WAY better than chicken delight. I found it easier in the sense that the moves were more fluid, harder in the sense that it is more technical. More tricky short moves = more fun in my opinion. |

| Very fun. I found there to be a committing crux about halfway up. Wasn't sure if I would peel off when I made the move. Cool friction foot moves. |

| Such an attractive wall. Nice, steep line with great holds. Both routes are intelligently bolted. Led both today. I think this one is slightly easier than Delight. But I agree this is a better quality climb. Great holds and a little more straightforward than Delight. Do them both when visiting. |

| 5.10c ??? Much easier than the 5.9s on Castle Rock! |

| This is a very enjoyable climb! The line is not obvious and it has some nice, fluid and balancey moves. |
