Description Suggest change

The whiskey version of an urban legend....

It is maybe one of the best crack boulder problems in North America and certainly the best I know of in Colorado! This goes through every size you can think of from offwidth down to tips. Start all the way back in the cave, and invert into the offwidth from the ground. Work your way out by doing some surprisingly difficult inverted shuffling, doing a pivot, then gaining powerful fists through the first roof, then move on to hands/thin hands through the second roof gaining the vertical finger crack, and top out on a solid jug on the right, avoiding the kitty litter. It is sustained all the way and requires more types of crack technique than most problems at the grade. 

Usually it takes most people about 4-5 minutes to climb the thing. Due to the huge range in sizes, there is a crux in a different spot for everyone.

Location Suggest change

It is a bit of a hike past the main wall near the end of the hill. You will pass an aspen grove in the main gully, and it's about 200-300 yards further from that.

The coordinates are: 39.210561°, -105.333878°.

Protection Suggest change

Pads and spotters, a fall from the top would suck. Please DO NOT build up the landing. It is fine as it currently is.
