The Puoux (and Super Puoux) is on the "Defiance Cave Preserve". All climbers must first download, complete and submit the climbing waiver to Ken Headrick, the property manager, by email attachment. The manager will acknowledge receipt of the waiver. You do not need to schedule a day or time when submitting your waivers. For more information go to coloradowesternslopegrotto.…

From the land owner: I am Michael Frazier owner of the Puoux climbing area. A few things I need to clarify. We want Everyone to feel welcome. We are asking everyone to fill out waivers for two reasons. The first is obvious. To cover our behinds. The second reason is to help us keep Interstate access open by showing C Dot historical access. I would like to see the waiver forms posted on this page. The other thing I would like to address is that we would like to be notified of any modifications of trails , platforms, and routes before they have began. Under no circumstances do we want rock chipping for hold placement. If you can't climb it as it is please choose another climb that is easier or improve your technique. One more thing. We have never issued trespassing tickets and I would like that taken off the description at the top of this page.

Description
I-70 is aptly named for its proximity to the highway but not for the amount of traffic it receives. This obscure, quality line features nice rock, and hard, engaging movement.
Scramble up some choss, and traverse right across a ledge to reach a long red rope-draw hanging from the first bolt of this route. Climb up to a large horizontal pod, and then make a semi-hard crimp move to gain a large flake which leads to a great rest below the "business". Pull past some decent edges, get setup on double, flat underclings, and move over a small roof following a finicky series of crimps to a horizontal break and prepare for the crux. Lieback off a tufa feature to reach some gritty holds, get setup on a testy undercling, and paw your way past some really toothy, sharp rock to the end.

Location
This is downhill from Kor's Corner, just right of a large, bolted corner. The first bolt has a long, red rope-draw on it.
