Description

Just when you think you're solid on 5.11 at Rifle, you come across this route. Technically the climbing is low-end 5.11, but when you're looking at 20+ foot whippers if you blow the crux, it somehow feels a bit stiff at the grade. However, this route offers "good climbing on great rock" and is well worth climbing if you're in the neighborhood.

Location

This is the next route right of Philanthropy.

Protection

Bolts but not as many as you'd like.

[Hide Comment] This is a good route with excellent rock, but it tends to be covered in dirt most of the time, which significantly detracts from the experience. The climbing is relatively weird a la Ivory Tower & most of the other routes on this part of the cliff. To keep the grade in the 5.11 range, it's necessary to weave a great deal to either side of the bolt line. I didn't find it to be runout by old school standards. Probably not the best warm-up.

[Hide Comment] I tried to warm up on this and found it to be... well... not the best gentle entrance into a day of climbing at Rifle. It was covered with a thin film of dust and required pulling hard moves when you were looking at a biggish fall. Very wandery. This route is maybe good for the 11/12 climber looking to do something between burns on other routes on the wall. Jan 9, 2014

[Hide Comment] Rebolted with new glue-ins. A few bolts must have been added as it didn't feel any more runout than any other Rifle 5.11. Oct 12, 2016

[Hide Comment] If you can hit this route when it's been cleaned up, it's really quite good. As for the runouts, it is a bit spacey around the last two bolts, but you will find that the hardest moves for the entire route occur near each bolt, so it feels fine if you are climbing confidently.
