The Crossing

5.12d, Sport, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 2 from 3 votes

Colorado > Rifle > Rifle Mtn Park > Bauhaus Wall

Description

The Crossing has steep roof climbing above a ledge on good stone. It was named after the second book in the Cormac Mcarthy series as well as the sexy, deep cross move likely required on the route’s crux. Scramble up the less-than-ideal ledge, skip or unclip the first bolt in the roof, and quest up. There is beautiful stone on the headwall with rad grips. It shares the last bolt and anchor with “All The Pretty Horses”. It is a 2023 freshie! Go get it!

Location

It is to the right of “All The Pretty Horses.”

Protection

11 bolts.
