It's free to access any area by hiking instead of driving. That includes hiking from Echo Lake Park to Roadside, Gateway, Area A, Possibility, and everything around there. It also includes Hell's Hole and other areas.
Description
The crux is between 2nd and 3rd bolt. It's all good but needs one more bolt up high, so it's a little run out up high, but the terrain is easier. I led it ground up and mostly aided the line with a mixed bag of techniques. I hand drilled all bolts from hooks or free stances with a hand drill! Fun stuff.
Location
It begins 20' or so left of Columbine Crack, right off the boulder. Walk down or rap from the anchor hidden directly above the climb, maybe 50' or so up the hill once you top out.
Protection
A standard rack up to #1 or #2 with a couple blue, green, yellow, and red Alien-sized camming units. There are some bolts, bashies, a homemade RURP, and new piton (#2 BD angle). All bashies (7), the RURP, and heads will come out. The angle should stay, it's awesome! I have a temporary anchor till I return to add a bolt and hopefully free it at old school 12+ in the very near future. I will add a two bolt anchor then.
