Access Issue: MM 23-29.5 - now ended daily CO 7 highway closure/delays
Details
Per Kai Bouwman: the daily CO 7 highway closure/delay access issue is no longer a problem according to CDOT the construction finished as of Nov. 11, 2022. 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 through a few ledges, ending up above the prow itself (this constitutes most of the length of the route). The crux is the thin, bulging left-face, which can easily be skipped by going further left and finishing the last few moves of
Enola.
Location
The 2nd-from-left route at The Atoll, just right of
Enola, on the south-facing aspect of the prow formation.
Protection
1 naked bolt & 3 bolts with hangers, leading to a 2-bolt anchor shared with
Enola. Some bolts may be out of immediate reach for diminutive climbers.
The anchor bolts are on the horizontal surface atop the formation & can cause rope drag. Walkoff to the left & down a path to the creek-side.
(PG-13 only because the first hanger has been removed and a moderate move precedes the 2nd bolt.)
