Anyone have any info on the 4 bolted routes at the picnic area at picture canyon in southeast Colorado?

I think the OP is talking about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictu…(Colorado)

Here's a picture. I circled the anchors. I've never found anything about the area on MP yet.

Whats the reason for asking?

I grew up going down to that area and they've been up ever since I can remember. I just got into climbing in the last few years and thought I'd try to look into the ratings and if they're worth trying to climb

Picketwire Canyon has much better rock and a dozen or so quality (but short) routes. Awesome, underrated part of the state! Really good bouldering too.
