Description
A fun, bolt-protected slab leads to some excellent trad crack climbing on this slightly obscure route. This is well described in the Jason Haas' South Platte Climbing Northern Volume (p. 232).
Ascend the slab protected by four bolts to a wide slot. About 20 feet past the slot, find a fifth bolt that makes a great directional (three shoulder-length slings) before you traverse left to the base of a hand crack in a right-facing corner. The jamming and stemming on the second pitch made me wish it were longer.
Belay on a broad shelf. Ignore the many tempting cracks rising toward the summit (no anchor up there) and traverse to climber's right, climb up about 30 feet on one of several obvious paths, and then continue right to a two bolt anchor just around on the south face. It is 165' to here.
Per Jonathan S: there is a 3rd pitch with adventure climbing.
Location
The route begins on the (climber's) right edge of a low angle slab that breaks at that ledge.
