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 That has been rescinded.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
Disruption climbs Direct Hit to its anchors and then continues up and left to join the end of Rouge Element below the final roof on that climb. Climbing to the anchors on Rouge Element yields a 140 foot long climb to reach the top of Half & Half Crag. With a 60m rope ,there are at least two options to climbing Disruption: 1) the leader can belay at the top of Half & Half, and after the 2nd reaches the top, they can both walk off to the south and west or 2) the leader can thread the rings and the belayer can lower him/her to the anchors on Direct Hit, the leader can clip in direct there, pull the rope, retie in, and then lower from the anchors on Direct Hit to the base of the climb.
Location
Disruption is a linkup that connects the entire length of Direct Hit with the final bolted section of Rouge Element.
Protection
The route is protected with 20 bolts (14 bolts plus 1 of the anchor bolts on Direct Hit (note: use a long draw or sling with bikers to clip one of the anchor bolts to minimize rope drag), 1 bolt for the linkup section, and 4 bolts on Rouge Element). At the end of the climb, there is a 2-bolt anchor with descending rings located at the top of Rouge Element.
