Description Suggest change

The Crew was one of the hardest routes in America at the time of the FA and the hardest route in Rifle back then.

Once 5.14b, The Crew is now solid 5.14c due to a broken hold. Climb the chossy skirt, then immediately punch it through the infamously bouldery, start crux. Move fast and light through many bolts of 5.13+ power endurance to a kneebar rest at the “2x4” at 2/3 height. Make a hard gaston move onto the vertical panel, then give it everything in the final crux roof. Clip the chains, and take a way an amazing and historical climb and one of Rifle’s hardest.

Location Suggest change

It is one route left of Zulu with a similar style of climbing, just harder. A 60m rope is necessary.

Protection Suggest change

2 kneepads and many fixed draws. Bring a few extra.
