Access Issue: Area Closure ended but timed entry permits are REQUIRED
Details
Per Bob Siegrist: as of 6/11/20, the parking areas are no longer blocked off. RMNP is open.
Per Matt B: this area is currently closed to all visitors due to temporary RMNP closures. The entire parking area is blocked off. Please do not threaten access to this area by climbing during this closure to all visitors.
Description
The first section of the route angles up and right and climbs through a couple tricky bulges flanked by hand cracks. Then mellow climbing leads to bolt 6 and the base of a bulging steep section which is the crux of the route. Climbing through this steep section follows the bolt line (bolts 7 to 10) with some movement slightly left of the arete on the face between bolts 9 and 10. Follow the bolt line here and do not climb right of the arete into the chimney that exits up and right toward P2 of Golden Staircase. Climbing through the crux has great exposure and the climbing involves technical punchy movement using side pulls, pinches and crimps along with tricky feet. The climbing above bolt 10 eases off and ascends the face just left of the arete to the anchors. Note: an onsight of Petrified while hanging the draws could be relatively harder, but with proper beta for the crux section a flash or repeat ascent could be relatively easier.
Location
Petrified is located on the buttress that forms the Northeast corner of Woodstone. It is located about 30 feet right of Jigsaw, and the start is about 10 feet lower. Note: there is a belay bolt tether located at the base of the route to help prevent the belayer from being pulled off the belay platform should the leader take a whip.
