Fantastic route up beautiful chocolate colored rock. Follow the thin seam up the center of the wall to a large scoop. Place your pro fast to avoid burning out. Super fun and well worth a visit. Good protection for the entire length of the route, but place it when you can.
Location
The center most seam/crack on the Winter Heat Wall.
Protection
Standard rack to 1". Especially wires. Also cams to 4" for the pockets down low to feel super comfortable.
The middle of the route is a bit sparse on good pro. Where it starts to get thin could be better protected with set of ballnutz or you need a good set of B--ls
Don't bother protecting the first 20 feet of 5.8 huecos. The first crux (5.11a) is thin and protects well with 2 brass nuts down low and small/medium nuts. The upper crux (11b) is very well protected with small/med cam and small/med nuts. It looks a lot worse from the ground than it is.

This is a great trad testpiece. One of the better single pitch routes I have done in Red Rocks.
