Featured Route For Spray Wall
Only Entertainment goes up the slab to the bottom left point of the middle brown streak, then heads up and slightly left through the thin features to the top of the cliff.

Only Entertainment 5.13b  CO : South Platte : ... : Spray Wall
This beautiful route takes the center line straight out the middle of the right side of the Spray Wall proper. This is pristine crimp pulling at its finest.Start with a slab move that is quite a bit harder than it looks (5.12-), then head straight up to the body jam no-hands rest at the break before busting out the main headwall. This route is super continuous and ultra technical, with very satisfying moves the entire way. It's really amazing on this route what you can pull off of on this cli...[more]   Browse More Classics in CO

Spray Cave <br /> <br />1. Anger Management, V11**  all good holds but one heinous crux crimp of death. Not sharp. <br />2. Spray Standard Left, B3/4**  campus jugs. <br />3. Spray Standard Right, F3/4?**  campus jugs. <br />4. Spray Prow, V7/8***  traverse from dihedral start with great moves to gain the overhung arete. <br />5. Head Banger, V7/8 *  low all the way.  There's also a version that off routes anything right of the crotch of the final dihedral. V9+? <br /> <br />There's also a Turd Line that starts crouching left of #1 on poor holds, one powerful move up to better crimps/edges and top out.  Finally, starting on this line and traversing the entire lip is a difficult, but not too appealing project. <br /> <br />Stars assume you avoided the guano at the exit of 2, 3, 4.
