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 route starts from a ledge 50 feet up the left side of the main wall, which is probably why it hasn't seen much traffic. A friend and I recently dusted the holds off and found what I think is the best 12b at the cliff. It seems to be all natural as well, which is not the norm for 5.12s here.
The route is easily picked out by a prominent, V-shaped inset with a bush growing out of it near the top. The first four bolts getting to the inset are the crux. There is a tricky clip at the fourth bolt, just before establishing on the smooth, right-slanting ramp that defines the V. There's a bomber rest at the top of the ramp that utilizes a big hole with an abandoned beehive in it (pretty cool to look at). From there, follow the slash up and right on big holds with long reaches. There's some sneaky beta for one span. A pump crux stares you down at the end and two more bolts take you to anchors shared with Experience.

Location
The current approach is to scramble up the fixed ropes that go to The Long Haul and follow ropes out to the right on the ledge below TLH, which is one ledge higher on the left (there are two sets of fixed lines that go to The Long Haul; the ropes in question are on the right and you have to scramble up a chossy ramp to reach them).
