Access Issue: Private Property - Waiver Required
Details
The Puoux (and Super Puoux) is on the "Defiance Cave Preserve". All climbers must first download, complete and submit the climbing waiver to Ken Headrick, the property manager, by email attachment. The manager will acknowledge receipt of the waiver. You do not need to schedule a day or time when submitting your waivers. For more information go to coloradowesternslopegrotto.…

From the land owner: I am Michael Frazier owner of the Puoux climbing area. A few things I need to clarify. We want Everyone to feel welcome. We are asking everyone to fill out waivers for two reasons. The first is obvious. To cover our behinds. The second reason is to help us keep Interstate access open by showing C Dot historical access. I would like to see the waiver forms posted on this page. The other thing I would like to address is that we would like to be notified of any modifications of trails , platforms, and routes before they have began. Under no circumstances do we want rock chipping for hold placement. If you can't climb it as it is please choose another climb that is easier or improve your technique. One more thing. We have never issued trespassing tickets and I would like that taken off the description at the top of this page.

Description
Route-5 has two very short pitches. Begin exactly where the trail meets the cliff. The upper pitch is far and away the better of the two.
Per Drew Jagoda Horowitz: This short route is the first you arrive at from the parking area at Puoux. Apparently for a long time it was rated as 5.8 or 5.9. However, apparently a good amount has been chipped off, since this is a solid 5.10a as listed in the most current guide. You can link this with the pitch above it (another short 5.10a) with a 60 meter rope. Easily located, but super waxy holds!
This is a combination of 2 submissions for the route.

Location
Per Drew Jagoda Horowitz: It is easy to locate as it is the first route you'll see once you get onto the trail from the parking lot. You can scramble down from the top if you don't want to rap or be lowered.
