Description Suggest change

Clear Creek’s newest king line fires out an overlooked feature high above the river and offers some of the best bouldering on a route I’ve ever seen. The climbing is vicious, memorable, and exposed.

Eternal Now begins from a belay ledge accessed by climbing the Right Approach Pitch and traversing to the far side of the ledge where a new set of anchors are located (a 60m rope is long enough for a rappel from here). Begin the route by climbing flowy 5.12 to a jug below an inspiring compression feature in the middle of the huge roof. A hard move immediately gets things going, and several hard moves with no rest lead to a difficult clip and the route’s true crux - a severely cryptic sequence with the most intense crimping in all of Clear Creek. A line of perfect incuts set up for a make-or-break move to slopers at the lip. Don’t blow the mantel, and stand up to the chains.

This route would still be just a ‘what if’ had Cody not ventured into this roof ground up in the middle of winter. Furthermore, he graciously opened this beast to the community and supported more than one potential first ascensionist during the process. My biggest thanks go out to Mr. Snow.

Eternal Now represents an everlasting love for this sport, this community, and everything else. The name is a reminder of both presence and unlimited perseverance.

Location Suggest change

It is located on the right/center of Brennivin roof. Climb any approach pitch to the ledge, then belay from the rightmost anchors. The route is permadrawed and hard to miss.

Protection Suggest change

Fixed draws.
