Access Issue: Road closure and reopened after flood damage!
Details
Per Steven Armijo: Cheyenne Canyon Road is closed until May 2022 for bridge repairs. Only hiking and biking trail access is allowed into the canyon.
Per Stewart M. Green: the North Cheyenne Canyon was reopened after the floods of 2015.
Per Stewart M. Green: ATTENTION!! The Colorado Springs Parks Department has CLOSED ALL CITY PARKS, including Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and North Cheyenne Canon, to rock climbing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
This is due to record rainfall totals in western Colorado Springs which as caused severe trail and parking lot damage, saturated the sandstone cliffs, and is causing parts of cliffs to break off.
The parks will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine how the closure will last.
Please respect the closures and take care of our precious climbing areas!

Description
This is a nice, right-facing corner/crack with good jams and laybacks. The crux is getting off the ground and may feel a little spicy for the novice trad leader, as any protection for these moves would probably not help. It is best to just stand up and start protecting once established in the crack above.
Location
This route is just left of Balance (the 4th? bolted route you come to as you approach up the hill from the west), and is an obvious crack in a rounded (sort of), right-facing corner.
Protection
Small to medium cams up to 2" would sew it up. One old piton exists but it may or may not hold a fall. 2-bolt anchor as for Balance.
