Description
This route is located on the east side of South Gateway Rock on the Drug Wall. The fastest way to get there is to park at the main parking area on the north side of the loop. Rocket Fuel will be on the left side of the cement path just before you get to the Twin Spires formation. The route works its way up the slab to a face climb left of the blocky roofs that make up Crescent Corner. Also left of Might Thor (seam next to Crescent Corner).
Difficult slab/thin edge climbing at the bottom to a pumpy face climb up pockets before the ledge anchor.
This is a Garden of the Gods classic climb.
