FA: I believe it was Duane Raleigh on a freesolo
Colorado > Carbondale Area > Redstone Area > Redstein > Friends & Family Wall

Description

Finesse through a tricky move off the ground, cruise the middle, and slap your way up a vertical sloper-rail near the end. This is one of my favorite routes of the area.

Location

This is just right of a large dihedral. It is the leftmost bolted climb on the main face of the Friends and Family Wall.

Protection

8 bolts.
