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 the closure, motorists need to take US 36 to CO 7.

Description

Move up an easy slab section to a horizontal crack. Find thin feet and crimpy handholds to pull over the bulging crux, then on to two more moderate bulges, and easy runout to the anchor.

Location

This is the next route to the right from Servant of the Bones.

Rap straight down.

Protection

6 bolts & 2 chains at the top. It is possible to protect the move before the crux for peace-of-mind with a large stopper; also a large stopper or smallish cam can protect the runout after the last bolt on the way to the anchor.
