Access Issue: Road closure and reopened after flood damage!
Details
Per Steven Armijo: Cheyenne Canyon Road is closed until May 2022 for bridge repairs. Only hiking and biking trail access is allowed into the canyon.
Per Stewart M. Green: the North Cheyenne Canyon was reopened after the floods of 2015.
Per Stewart M. Green: ATTENTION!! The Colorado Springs Parks Department has CLOSED ALL CITY PARKS, including Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and North Cheyenne Canon, to rock climbing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
This is due to record rainfall totals in western Colorado Springs which as caused severe trail and parking lot damage, saturated the sandstone cliffs, and is causing parts of cliffs to break off.
The parks will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine how the closure will last.
Please respect the closures and take care of our precious climbing areas!

Description
The Lower Bolted Face is between the Lower Roof Route and the large, left-facing corner system (5.5) that dominates the lower Creekside Wall. There is a line of 3 bolts that strikes up the face, just to the left of the corner system. If you climb to the left side of the bolts, you can stay in the crack/corner system for a good ways, and then break to the right, between the 2nd and 3rd bolts, for the crux finish in order to top out the face. If you decide to climb strictly to the right side of the bolts, it is much, much harder. So, it is a little contrived, but it makes for a nice climb anyway.
On a historical note, a long time, local climber regaled me with tales of running top-rope laps on this wall back in the '60s in order to train for the Valley. So, I think this kind of helps advance my personal theory that most everything got soloed in a pair of Hush Puppies years ago Cheers!
