I’ll throw an easy one out since you’re all too busy going climbing!

Choss? Did I hear “choss?” I like choss. But Colorado doesn’t have any….

Hint: If you were around during the Eocene, streams carried erosion debris from the highlands to the lowlands, where cobbles and smaller particles were deposited along the spectrum of generally decreasing energy. And ancestral horses were the size of modern dogs. Nowadays, these sediments are more solidly cemented where closer to the original source.

This route is on MP.  Drew Ludwig is on the sharp end. Our approach began with a free gondola ride.

This looms above a former mining town that had a population of 12 full-time residents in the late sixties.

An injury has me in the catch-22 of lots of time to browse the forums and play these games but no new routes to submit, so I'm scrounging up scraps.
Here’s a terrible photo of a great pitch. Probably the pumpiest climb for its modest grade you’ll find in CO. 5.9+/10-.

Hint: this is a g rated pitch 2 of an R rated route but is rarely climbed as such.

Here’s a pic the other direction from the same stance:
