We Squeezes

V11+, Boulder, 20 ft (6 m),  Avg: 4 from 7 votes
FA: Chris Schulte
Colorado > Independence Pass > Grottos Day Use… > Gollum's Cave

Description

Sit start in the back of the cave on chunky edges, under a mini-roof within, climb out the long, horizontal 'fridge feature with compression, heel-toe cams, and so on to a kind of high finish up a mossy face. The holds are clean, though... felt like V12, could be V11...you know.

Location

The cave is found when approaching Gollum's Cave from the bottom, left of the trail. Walk off to the climber's left, jump the stream/boulder gap to get back to the pads.

Protection

It is nice to have a couple of Black Diamond Mondos + a couple Drop Zones.

[Hide Comment] Starting way back in the cave is kind of dumpy. You should just start from a fat undercling. Jul 23, 2019

[Hide Comment] The true start can be dumpy to be sure; however, it does add to the overall line and definitely makes the full package a delight. Additionally, I think its important to underscore here that we should be making every effort to match the style of the first ascent. Oct 23, 2020
