Description

A tight hands to big fingers crack that ends at a crumbly ledge. The anchor consists of a hex cemented in place and I think a old ice screw.

Location

Located in the town of Fruita, this is just past the orchard. There is a wall that has been shot up a bunch of times and this climb is found JUST past the schoolhouse, which makes this ascent legal. You can see the bullet marks that have been there for decades.There is a curved crack that splits the wall. This is the Big Neon Splitter.
