This is an excellent route! Start at the base of the upper large pine tree and follow the corner past a small pine, over a roof and belay atop the corner under a large ceiling(55m+/-). Walk east about 25' and scramble down to a tree with slings and rings. If you use this rap I suggest you bring a sling to replace the one there.

Okay, I can't hold back anymore.
This route is brought to you by Soylent red and Soylent yellow, high energy vegetable concentrates, and new, delicious, Soylent green. The miracle food of high-energy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world.

Good route -- unusual rock for Red Rocks (almost Yosemite-like). 120 feet of interesting and well-protected climbing through the roof then 60-70 feet of juggy 5.4 (or easier).

bring some extra webbing to back up the repel tree. The stuff up there is getting a little old as of April 15, 2009.

BTW, we repelled with a single 70 meter rope - we had about 15 feet of extra slack. a 60 should get you down, but you will need to downclimb a little. Just make sure you don't repel off the end of your 60m. The repel will put you near the base of the tall pine tree that is higher up and at the base of the climb.

Great route!! The corner is super thin for us fat-fingered folk. At the pine tree, it looked tempting to go out right and climb the crack to the roof, but I foolishly went up the corner.... Happy to send again. A double set of cams from .4" to 1.5" in addition to a standard rack should do for the route. The belay takes big pieces - about 3.5" and larger. We 3rd classed (downclimbed) off.
