Per
Stewart M. Green:
ATTENTION!! The Colorado Springs Parks Department has CLOSED ALL CITY PARKS, including Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and North Cheyenne Canon, to rock climbing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. This is due to record rainfall totals in western Colorado Springs which as caused severe trail and parking lot damage, saturated the sandstone cliffs, and is causing parts of cliffs to break off.
The parks will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine how the closure will last.
Please respect the closures and take care of our precious climbing areas!
Description
This route is south of the Tinseltown's gully on its own buttress that faces east. Start climbing in an alcove, and climb to a chimney. Then follow the crack to the anchor. The top part of the crack is good, but the bottom may be a little loose.
Protection
2 pitons, pro to 3", and an anchor.
