There is no legal hiking, bouldering or climbing in Horsetooth Reservoir Park "except in designated areas." See the 2024 Regulations here: online.flippingbook.com/vie…
Description
The route is located through the brush about 100 feet south of the roof route area. It's a prominent hand crack start followed by a short offwidth and tops out on a blocky face. Start with the nice hand crack (5.7+) for 15 feet to the offwidth. Enter the offwidth and grunt through (crux) whereupon climbing eases towards the top.
Note that a TR can also be set from above.
A nice and quick intro to hand cracks and offwidths.

Protection
Bringa a rack of hand and offwidth size protection. A rack with 1 small set of stoppers/tri-cams for the upper section and anchor is useful.
Per patrick donahue: bring a rack from BD c4 #2-#6, and a rack of small nuts for the top is nice.
