Great route, but pretty spicy on lead. Make sure to pay careful attention after you pass the first bolt- pro is sparse and the climbing is tricky.

Above, you'll find a spectacular seam that seem to go forever!

Note: As of Sept '06, the rap station is in bad need of new webbing and new rap rings. If you get back there before I do, please take some and repair it! Thanks!

This pitch is spectacular!! A great warm up for the harder and scarier Mai Tai. A decent #2 camelot protects the moves getting to the first bolt. The crux is getting established in the corner right of the bolt and is a little spicy but not desperate. The corner above has some beautiful climbing with moderate run outs between sections of very good gear and bolts. The rap station had two rings and decent webbing. Chains would be a great addition to this anchor. The bolts are all new and bomber.

Really good route. The quasi direct start up a few laybacks in a left facing corner is not too bad, and crossing over to the left to get the bolt seemed solid. After clipping the bolt, I went straight up via thin face moves and entered the main corner system out right fairly high. If done this way, you are not going to get any pro until you are well up and established in the seam. You will deck, for sure if you blow it. But, at least three other people who were there crossed much lower into the corner and appeared to get some pretty good pro as described in the comments above. Anchor was adequate with fairly fresh webbing on 10/25/08

The slabby section below the first bolt are solid moves and relatively grippy rock and didn't seem to get slick until after the first bolt. Starting directly below the bolt would provide an OK landing if you did happen to come off. Starting right in the corner (as Russ mentioned) looked much harder and would certainly provide a worse fall factor.

Crack seemed to take pro when needed and the route provided 2 bolts in the crack section which seemed somewhat unnecessary as passive pro was available. That said....just clip and go!

As of 19 May, Anchor did have chains on it. Nice pull too. Thanks much to whoever put them up. Cheers.

5.10b: Big cam under base for belay since you are pretty high on a ledge. Climb carefully to bolt with a spotter- you can get a big blue Camelot just left and above to back it up. Straight above and slightly left 8 feet is another horizontal that will take a 3 inch yellow or red Camelot - marginal but might hold. Few thin moves to right into corner and the rest is a cruise. Chains at belay as of January 2010.

Fantastic route and bold lead. Once you clip the first bolt you have to make the crux moves without knowing when (or if) you'll get additional protection. Without any beta I seriously considered backing off. Once you get into the corner, the difficulty eases a bit but it still feels a little spicy all the way to the anchor. One of the best pitches I've done at Red Rocks. I look forward to trying Mai Tai.

Followed the topo (direct) to the first bolt (yikes) - the followers had an easier time coming in from the left. (May 2011)
