Description This is a most awesome route, very reminescent of Yosemite. Start to the right of Panic in the gray roomand work up the slab and dihedral using stemming, then move into a crack/lieback and then you can either go straight up the nice thin hollow flake, or better yet lieback/undercling and traverse around it. It is a damn shame this route is not several pitches otherwise it would be an area classic.
Protection Stoppers, hexes, tricams, and cams up to #3 Camalot. Route can be toproped from the 2 bolts at the top of Panic in the Gray Room, but if you top rope it place some pro or be aware of the slight pendulum.

| Such a beautiful pitch, even in the middle of a thunderstorm! Definitely three stars (or five or six) and worth the hike. long runners are a good thing! |

| This route is barely one star, despite the glowing write-up. This route is useful to get a top rope on the nearby bolted face. Otherwise, it is hard to get too excited about this route. It is also more like 5.5 than 5.7. |

| I think it's all relative, but at a moderate grade, it is fun and worth the effort. 3stars? Not in my book, but not a bomb either. One or two stars, depending on what you are used to. Weighing it in versus other climbs in the immediate area of similar length, it is good. 2 stars by the local metric, one compared to what else is available in colorado. Some of the possible placements are in a flake that might expand. Be careful. |

| I thought this was the down climb for gray room. The only cool moves were the two steps at the top for the layback. |

| Fun, but short. Climbs through two huge hollow flakes. |

| Nice route and my first lead in almost two years. Definitely not a 5.7 but an enjoyable and varied route regardless with a little of everything, chimneying off the deck, a dihedral, a flake and some friction slab. With a 60m rope you can continue from the first set of cold-shuts up a nice slab to a second set of shuts. Rap in two stages back down; the walk-off (if you can call it that) is roundly aweful. |

| Climbed this tonight. Use this route to set up TR for next route to the left. Not a whole lot of meat on this bone, but the final flake is kinda cool to huck up and around. I wouldn't even call that (7) though. |

| It appears that MP has "Emergency Entrance" and "I.V. League" reversed. According to Hubbel's and Gillette's guidebooks I.V. League is the offwidth to the left of Cyberchondrial Paranoia and Emergency Entrance is the dihedral/flake to the right of Panic in the Grey Room. MP has it backwards. |
