Description Suggest change

Steep initial climbing leads to a pumpy and fun traverse across heucos and a strenous and tricky crux. There are at least two ways of doing the crux. The obvious way is harder. If you're taller it may help across the traverse, because you can stretch down for some occasional footholds.

This is a pretty spectacular pitch, and good photos can be taken from higher up the ramp.

Apparently L.O.O.P. stands for League of Outdoor Pursuits. The FA may have been done by Alvino Pon. In the Rossiter Eldo guide, Rossiter says that the info for this area came from Alvino via an article in Rock and Ice #54. Alvino is responsible for many climbs in St Vrain Canyon.

Location Suggest change

This is the second route from the right at the Garden of Stone area. From R.N.R. (the rightmost route) and the meadow scramble about 30' up the slab to a flat area at the base of a steep red wall.

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts plus chains. The first bolt is very high on easy ground, so be careful or place a trad piece (or both).
