Access Issue: Area Closed
Details
Per Melvin Glerup who is one of the landowners in the area: this Pinecliffe area is closed, since it is on private property.
Wonderland is on public lands but involves a tedious approach for legal access which is not through Pinecliffe.

Description
This is a separate area from The Main Pinecliffe Crag. It was developed by Kirk Miller and friends. It is ~1/4 mile East of Pinecliffe on top of a hill.
Thanks for the clarification, Kirk. If you want me to turn this area over to you, let me know.

Getting There
This is a 1/4 mile East of Pinecliffe (top of the hill). There is a parking area with a larger rock outcropping (North side of road). Park here, there area only about 6-8 parking spots. There is a deep slot splitting 2 rock outcropings, this slot heads down to the river and ultimately the main climbing area at Pinecliffe along the train tracks. This is right after heading down toward the river, on the right side (West-facing). There are multiple bolted routes, Can You Dig It?, 10+, is the first bolted route, and it is right of John Shaft, 12a.
Per Kirk Miller: I believe Shaft lies within the CDOT right of way. I am pretty sure it's not on private property.
