Description
A fine route on the best sandstone at the lake. Awesome positioning over the water on perfect white sandstone that climbs like Yosemite granite. Walk past all of the routes in the impressive Coliseum and end up on a terrace that takes you to the start of the route. There are three routes here. Reckless is the furthest left of the three.
Climb up onto a ledge and try not to blow the first move or you'll end up in the drink. Clip a bolt and do a big move up to nice horizontals. Surf up and right to a nice leg bar and make moves straight up and eventually heading left.
The crux is at the 4th bolt and can be done a few different ways; it's pretty common for folks to go WAY left here; this is off route and should not be considered a send!
After this, cruise up nice terrain through steep jugs, fingerlocks, and a fun dihedral to the cold shuts.
