Access Issue:
- Portions of the approach and cliffs of this area are on private land.
In 2015, Access Fund acquired key privately owned access parcels when foreclosed on by the bank to keep it in climbing-friendly hands. Please park and camp on Access Fund property and take the new trail down. Please donate today at accessfund.org/homestead to secure permanent access and conservation of the Homestead.
Description
Not a single crimp on the climb and very few holds that are horizontal. Two big bulges and a steep finish will keep you interested to the end. A long series of opposition moves through the first bulge make this one of the more unique climbs at the Rough Rider. The second bulge doesn't flow as well as the first bulge due to a tricky crux. The second bulge has a couple of less than ideal pockets and more side-pulls. The finish passes another much smaller but fun bulge and leads to horizontal jugs.
Just before the big ledge there is some funky dirty rock on the left so stay right on the gray rock. This gray rock looks bad as well but is solid.
