Per Bob Siegrist: as of 6/11/20, the parking areas are no longer blocked off. RMNP is open.
Per Matt B: this area WAS closed to all visitors due to temporary RMNP closures. The entire parking area WAS blocked off. That has been rescinded.
Description
"Splinter" is a short, steep, and varied route on that woodgrain granite. Super fun.
Climb through the first two bolts of bullet rock via a bouldery sequence (crux) and into a steep juggy section below a small roof. Launch into a short corner over the roof, choosing your own sequence between the arete and/or tricky face holds. Finishes all too quickly onto the slab.
This shares anchors with Wailing Wall. Thank you to the previous equippers at "Woodstone", Scott & Yuri Kimball and to J. Siegrist for the support and lending me his drill. It proved quite the little challenge after many years away from sport climbing. I hope you enjoy!
