Wilford Prow

V1+, Boulder, 20 ft (6 m),  Avg: 3.9 from 7 votes
FA: Mark Wilford
Colorado > Ft Collins > Carter Lake > Spice Roof

Description

Below the obvious roof get established on the left most blunt arete. Make big moves on positive holds through the roof to a rail on the left side above the roof feature. Utilize jugs to pull the top out. Some of the rock may be friable, but all the hand holds felt solid to me. I could see foot holds exfoliating on this climb so just be aware. Overall, I felt like the rock quality was decent.

Location

The very obvious prow that can be seen from the Extension Boulder. Wilford’s prow starts and trends more on the left side of the prow feature.

Protection

Pads, the more the better.

[Hide Comment] I was surprised to see that this problem hadn't been logged yet. There's a cool picture of Naomi Guy cutting feet on this rig that always made me want to climb it. The Front Range Bouldering Guide list this as a V3, but I felt when compared to West Face on Extension Boulder, this is was relatively tame. It's a fun steep jug haul. Feel free to let me know if information about the grade should be adjusted. Dec 18, 2018

[Hide Comment] Some of the holds felt a little hollow, just like my attempts at climbing this thing. Hard problem. No send yet. May 6, 2024
