Red Rocks sport routes with fixed draws?

I'll be climbing in Red Rocks the week of Thanksgiving and I'm looking to get on some routes that are at or slightly above my limit. Anybody have any recommendations for routes in the 12+/13- range with fixed draws? Not looking to start a debate about the ethics of permadraws; just want to find some cool climbs that are easier to project.

Do you own a stick clip? Stick clipping your way up a route is pretty trivial with a little practice (like ten minutes work for a six bolt route), and a useful sport climbing guide skill - then you can just choose a route you are stoked on, instead of one that's simply convenient.

Most of the harder lines at the Gallery are usually fixed

This. The Gift sounds like a good project for you. Yaak crack would be a good warm up.

Also check out the trophy! The draws on that rig were somewhat suspect but still hanging on when I thrashed up it about a year ago.

Except for all the 5.14s at the RRG...

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
