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.
This is a fun climb that has crux moves to get going and then face and slab climbing up higher. Climb past the ring piton (crux) to a stance, clip a bolt, move up and past a horizontal to another bolt. Clip two more bolts (trending right at the last) to a two-bolt rappel anchor.
Location
This is towards the left side of the crag. The guidebook mentions a dead tree at the base but it's no longer there. This route climbs the face between two wide cracks. Look for a ring piton down low and a bolt about fifteen feet up.
Protection
Four bolts, piton, and a light rack to a #1 camalot. There's finger-size gear available near the piton. The route ends at a two-bolt rappel anchor near the top of the crag.
