From CDOT: Colorado Highway 7 is closed daily from MP 23-29.5. Motorists can only travel through the area between 6-8 am and 4-7 pm. During these timeframes, pilot cars will lead alternating one-way travel. Drivers should plan for delays, and this schedule will remain in place through Memorial Day 2022.
During the closure, motorists need to take US 36 to CO 7.

Description
This is a great route to learn how to do tricky aid and some delicate nailing. You can protect the route by toprope as I placed rappel anchors at the top of the route.
Start in a right-facing dihedral working up 7-8 feet and tackling the small overhang which then follows a thin crack which diagonals slightly right until it joins with another route which is now bolted but was done by Jay Kinghorn on aid the same time as I did this route.
