Location: CO : South Platte : Cathedral Spires Area : Sunshine Wall : Standard Route (5.11- R)

By: stevecurtis When: Nov 17, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Beautiful, with a bit of a boulder problem low, and endurance finger crack higher, becoming easier as you go. Probably a bit soft for the grade.
