Soylent Green Jeans 

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.

Sol: There was a world, once, you punk.
Det. Thorn: Yes, so you keep telling me.
Sol: I was there. I can prove it.
Det. Thorn: I know, I know. When you were young, people were better.
Sol: Aw, nuts. People were always rotten. But the world 'was' beautiful.

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.

walk off.

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.

"People were always rotten. But the world 'was' beautiful." This route goes futher than just beautiful.

A very good route- very unique for red rocks- a couple of thoughts.

1) This route is bold in places and sustained at the grade- be solid and prepared to run it out. On the flake section, in particular, as any cam placed behind that flake would likely rip if fallen on.

2) The gear is bomber where it matters, though- which is good. A double rack to green or red camalot, a single #2, and your choice of two or more big cams for anchor works out nicely (I would have liked two #4s for the anchor, but a single #3 and #4 works out)

3) Not really worth rappelling- downclimb the obvious way until you reach a slab where there is a choice. Heading skiers left will take you back to the base via a short 4th class step, skiers right will take you to the Case Face.

Wow. One of the the best single pitches I've every done. Stay in the left corner as much as possible. Bring 3-4 thin tips pieces. Old school 5.9+.

One gripe though. The top section is a joke. There should be an anchor a couple of moves above the roof. Just saying.

I've climbed it both ways now. I've cut right at the mid-way tree up the flake. I've also climbed straight up the corner. I think the corner is the way to go, more pure, but pro is hard to get. Definitly bring thin gear. I used two Lowe Balls. Bring #3 to #4 Camalots for the anchor.
