Description

Jump up on the ledge from the left and gingerly move right under the first clip to start. A few smallish holds with good feet will launch you to bigger holds to C1. Even bigger holds through C3 await you. Jog right then left past C4 & 5 at the horizonal break and past the blocky crux bulge at C6 & C7. Cross left at around C8 over the mini-arete where some easier and then slightly harder climbing on good holds goes to the anchors.

11 clips to anchors.

[Hide Comment] Dirty down low but a good climb. My students, some of whom have spent 2 days a week at Rifle all summer, described this as their favorite climb at Rifle yet. It does have some pretty darn fun jug hauling. Aug 24, 2011

[Hide Comment] Really HIGH first bolt - bring the super mega long stick. A friend's regular stick did not reach. Great jug hauling. Jul 24, 2013

[Hide Comment] Thanks so much for adding the lower bolt. This is a terrific route- fun from bottom to top. It even stays dry in moderate rain! I appreciate all the hard work that created Kubrick's. Aug 25, 2013
