Description 

The crux is heading towards the last few moves towards the anchors. I would say that making last crimp reaches for a (thank you) hand jam in horizontal while fighting off the growing forearm pump.


Protection 

7 bolts to LOs.


Location 

This is the rightmost route on the lower tier of routes at Leftwire.

Very good route, current guidebook on Clear Creek notes the grade as 10b, I think that's a more appropriate grade.

Only a totally hard-up maniac could think that route is 10b. Downgrading is so bourgeois.

I feel like 10b is accurate, if not generous. Regardless, it's a fun route and well worth doing!

You know what Zac Attac? Guideline #1 for comments says don't be a jerk, it says nothing about being bourgeois or being a hard up maniac. So yeah.

Rolofson's book calls it 5.11a if you go straight up at the last bolt, or 5.10d if you go slightly right. The straight up version certainly looked as if it could brush 5.11 territory. I went right, and felt it was around 5.10c.
Fun climb.
Edit: did the straight up version today, would call that 5.10d. It's not 5.11, but it's harder than 10b.

Very fun climb. I agree that it comes in at 10c if you go right and 10d if you go direct. Either way it is a surprisingly good climb. This whole area is awesome!

As a side note, a friend of mine took a pendulum fall at about the 4th bolt and swung into the dirty crack left of this route. TWO 35lb ROCKS CAME FLYING DOWN AT ME! Luckily I was able to dodge them, but it was without doubt the scariest thing that has ever happened to me while climbing. Glad I was using an autolocking belay device and the climber called them out.

I cleaned some of the loose crap in the crack to the left last night. One block was a hundred pounder that I was able to wiggle out with one hand. Yikes!

The only way this is 11a or even 10d going direct is if you have no flipping idea how to do a handjam. Screw all the crimps and finger jugs up there right before the anchors, throw in a meaty jam and call off belay, cuz you aren't falling out unless your arm comes out of its socket.

Fun route, I'll definitely be doing it again when I'm back in the area.

Yup, I would say that it goes at a very solid 5.10b. Fun and pumpy!

Go direct at the finish! Awesome move to top off a really fun climb. Harder than the other 10s at High Wire IMO but also a different style of climbing. Really fun!
