Fragile Alpine Area MORE INFO >>> This is a fragile alpine bouldering area and following Leave No Trace principles is important. Never stash pads. Do not alter landings, chip or glue holds, or remove or alter vegetation. Walk on hard surfaces such as boulders or established trails. Store your gear on boulders instead of dirt or vegetation. Clean up spilled chalk and tick marks and brush holds. Keep your presence low key and unobtrusive. Pack out everything you brought and anything else that shouldn't have been left there. RMNP rangers are very aware of the impact that bouldering has on this environment. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This problem is one of the classics of the park. Start as for Bush Pilot but head right just before that route's last crux and traverse across fairly good but widely spaced crimps to an obvious exit on lower-angled rock.

Location 

On the south side of the boulder, starting in the Bush Pilot dihedral.

Protection 

A few pads and a spotter. A rock behind the problem warrants some care.
