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 the prominent diagonal crack in the center of the slab. The first ascent team gained the base of the crack by traversing up and right from the crag's lowpoint, staying below the low roofband, but the crack is probably best accessed by walking up the west gully to where it is convenient to step out onto the main face at a good stance.
The crack is about thirty feet long with tricky protection. The crux is near the end and is slightly runout. Finish with nice, much easier climbing up a few parallel cracks. Note: the thin crack may now hold a piton; however, this was placed after the first ascent and should be pulled if it's there.
