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.

Access Issue: Private Property - the area is CLOSED! Details

Per Matt B: this entire area (including Upper Infirmary Slabs) is on private property. Check USFS maps, and you'll see a rectangular chunk of private property just off the road at the beginning of Coffin Top Gulch. This unfortunately includes the beginning of the Coffintop Trail as well. As it stands, the landowner does not want climbers on his property, so these crags should be avoided.

Description

This is the bolted fin of rock approximately 75 feet East of the route "Wax 'n Wane". Start at the base and begin by passing 4 bolts to a large, horizontal crack. From here, the angle eases off, and it is a fun and easy climb past 3 more bolts to the anchor. Overall, it is a fun slab climb with a definitive crux at the second bolt. It has 7 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor with chains.
