Access Issue: Reopened after flood damage! Details

Per Stewart M. Green: as of the July Fourth weekend, Red Rock Canyon Open Space has been reopened for climbing.

Red Rock Canyon Open Space is currently CLOSED to all access due to flood damage.

Description

From the guidebook: Another great moderate. Climb a slab to a finishing headwall.

Location

From guidebook: Reach the face by hiking south from where the north cliff access trail reaches the cliff. Hike along the cliff-base until the trail crosses a low angle slab shaded by a large juniper tree.

The approximate starting GPS coordinates for this and Whale Rider are 38.8454808, -104.8823946.

Routes #7 to #11 were described as: below a clean slab composed of two different sandstone layers.

Other notes: This route is the 11th developed route on the Whale and number #11 in the guidebook.

Addendum: there is a crux move near the top that will be harder for shorter climbers.
