I haven't been on this yet, so probably somebody else could write a better description. This is the most obvious crack on the face, located on the far right. Route goes up a wide section through a roof, then continues on at a lower angle to the same bolted anchor as Head Case.
The only other thing I'm going to say is . . . Joe Herbst . . . offwidth . . . 1975 . . .
Pretty hard for Red Rocks 5.9. The new red Brock guidebook rates it at 5.10a. The biggest gear needed is a #3 Camalot...there's nowhere to place a #4. Really fun route with great gear. A bit awkward, but not too bad.

Super fun route with plenty of gear places and a kinda fun/awkward roof sequence. Feet facing left or right?? Figure it out as its not so obvious but is really fun!! A natural thread anchor with slings is at the top of this route or you can traverse left to Head Case anchors. If it's 5.9 (Red Rocks); then it would be stout for that grade IMO.
Fun route, it's 9+, crux protects with .4 camalot, and if it's so fun, why only 1.5 stars? I give it classic status-the only reason anyone legitimately walks up to this cliff, so let's hear it for hard case!
