Description Steep climbing that is harder than it looks. Widely spaced bolts and polished holds seem to keep people away. People have decked trying to clip the 3rd bolt.
Location The first route you come to on the Ice Cave Wall when you hike from the lower parking lot by the bridge. Just upstream of the Lower Ice Cave.
Protection 5 bolts and anchor. Two bolts were added in August 2010 during the Rifle Cleanup.

| I seriously wished I had a few small-med sized nuts for between bolts 2 and 3. Definite decking potential when clipping the awkward 3rd bolt. |

| I second that. Felt harder than 5.9? Maybe that's just me not being familiar with Rifle climbing. |

| Two more bolts were added to this as part of the Rifle Cleanup, so you shouldn't have to worry about hitting the ground now. |
