Access Issue: Private Property - Waiver Required
Details
The Puoux (and Super Puoux) is on the "Defiance Cave Preserve". All climbers must first download, complete and submit the climbing waiver to Ken Headrick, the property manager, by email attachment. The manager will acknowledge receipt of the waiver. You do not need to schedule a day or time when submitting your waivers. For more information go to coloradowesternslopegrotto.…

From the land owner: I am Michael Frazier owner of the Puoux climbing area. A few things I need to clarify. We want Everyone to feel welcome. We are asking everyone to fill out waivers for two reasons. The first is obvious. To cover our behinds. The second reason is to help us keep Interstate access open by showing C Dot historical access. I would like to see the waiver forms posted on this page. The other thing I would like to address is that we would like to be notified of any modifications of trails , platforms, and routes before they have began. Under no circumstances do we want rock chipping for hold placement. If you can't climb it as it is please choose another climb that is easier or improve your technique. One more thing. We have never issued trespassing tickets and I would like that taken off the description at the top of this page.

Description
This popular climb goes to the first set of three anchors. The complete Youth continues with 5.12c climbing to either of the upper two anchors. As it is, climbing to the first set of anchor is quality and enjoyable.
Begin with engaging and slightly runout climbing (5.9) past the first couple of bolts on steep, slightly less than vertical terrain. Above, well-protected face climbing leads to a horizontal break where the steep, overhanging climbing begins. Navigate the first bulge on big holds, and continue above for a forearm-inducing pump on big jugs to the anchor.

Location
Uphill of Kor's Corner, this route is furthest left on the wall before reaching the big cave amphitheater and the approach to the upper climbs of The Long Haul and Honk in the Tunnel.
