Details
2023 info: jeffco.us/1531/Alerts-Closures
The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…
Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.

Description
This is really just a variation to Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. The crack is easy, but it gets you up the lowest section quickly. When the crack ends, it is a good idea to clip the 2nd bolt on Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. The third bolt is more in line with the crack but is higher up. A #2 Camalot fits well at the top of the crack. Continue to the top clipping the bolts on Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. The route is not great, but if you are at the Little Dome, it is easy to do.
Location
This is the leftmost route at the crag. The mellow hand crack is visible at the start as it is at the bottom. The route is just left of Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. You walk off to the left (south).
