From CDOT: Colorado Highway 7 is closed daily from MP 23-29.5. Motorists can only travel through the area between 6-8 am and 4-7 pm. During these timeframes, pilot cars will lead alternating one-way travel. Drivers should plan for delays, and this schedule will remain in place through Memorial Day 2022.
During the closure, motorists need to take US 36 to CO 7.

Description
This is straight up the face between Scout Route and Route 166. This route has three tough mantle moves one after another and progressively harder.
Protection
You can set up a toprope anchor from the rappel bolts at the top.
Eds. apparently per Nathan Welton, the anchor bolts have been chopped.
Per Carl Sampurna: (Nov. 2019) three bolts have been replaced and now protect the mantel moves at the bottom. Medium cams protect the easy ground above leading to the chimney. The top has three more bolts, but if clipping the 5th bolt seems scary and dangerous, instead follow the chimney to the rap hangers. The anchor shared by Triple Mantel and Route 166 has been replaced and has rap hangers.
