Details
Buildering is a dangerous and illegal activity that can result in serious injury and/or death. The climbing featured in these area shouldn't be attempted unless you want jail time and hospital bills.
Description
This is the most aesthetic line on the western face of Norlin Library. On each side of the main walk in you will see that the furthest pillars are close to the wall creating splitter chimneys that go up for about 3 stories. We reached the summit thinking we had reached virgin territory, but the names of a few others had been written on the summit block. It doesn't get much better than this! After further inquiry we learned that this route had been a standard in the 1960's by students at CU such as Bob Culp Front Range climbing legend. "If you were a climber you had to do it. I didn't like to or want to, but I did it too."
Featured in the film: Real Rock an Urban Climbing Experience coming May 2019.
