Description
Pitch 1: 5.8, Pitch 2: 5.10, Pitch 3: 5.10, Pitch 4:5.10.
Squeeze chimney on P2 seems hardest; Long line and steep. Great rock and good pro. A huge wall of dihedrals set in a gorgeous forest above West Clear Creek.
Location
To access the top: Follow FS 122C for 4.6 miles, continuing on FS 9398T for another 0.8 miles to the end of the road. There are a couple forks after the FS 9399S turn-off: in each case, you go to the right. Follow cairns due west downhill to point of buttress.
To access the bottom of the climb, follow the instructions for accessing Clint's well, taking the trail down from the end of FS 9399S. The climb is about 0.3 miles downstream, on the left.
