“The Maiden.

When I first discovered I love airy rappels.

It was one of the most beautiful short moments of my life.

Of course, my outlook of airiness might have been twisted if rapped on a windy day. Yikes!

The Maiden.
The rap.
Staring up at the west face.
Here is all you need to know about the approach. The dotted line starts at about 39.950261, -105.283469 (https://goo.gl/maps/k2xhVgxGUatL1jBEA). Get there, head west, and you'll find the climber's trail.
Approach beta: from the water trough go left on the Shadow Canyon Connector Trail. Walk a little farther than you think. Turn off where the old quarry road practically touches the trail. Follow the quarry road back north till a cairned trail directly under The Maiden. If you are in poison ivy or loose talus, you went the wrong way....
