Access Issue: MM 23-29.5 - now ended daily CO 7 highway closure/delays
Details
From CDOT: Colorado Highway 7 is closed daily from MP 23-29.5. Motorists can only travel through the area between 6-8 am and 4-7 pm. During these timeframes, pilot cars will lead alternating one-way travel. Drivers should plan for delays, and this schedule will remain in place through Memorial Day 2022.
During the closure, motorists need to take US 36 to CO 7.

Description
Climb a semi-polished face with slanting cracks and seams up to the base of the roof. Scrunch to the right, under the roof, and arrange protection in the incipient crack in the roof (I stuffed a #0.5 Camalot and an orange TCU in the best pod).
Crank over the roof either slightly left to a hand-sized crack, or slightly right to other features. Either way it is fairly powerful. The crux for me was getting established above the roof.
Keep climbing straight up to a ramp with several cracks. It is probably best to set a belay here and bring your partner up, or continute straight up the slab or slightly left up a seam in the slab.
Ultimately, you are headed up and left to the tree with slings above Original Route, where you can rap approximately 100' to the ground.
