Description 

The Fox is an awesome Red Rocks crack pitch.

Getting There 

This classic crack is located on a shady crag 200 yards right of Cannibal Crag. Park at the same place and follow a well worn trail which skirts the cliffs to the right of Cannibal Crag.

Scramble straight up an easy chute to a flat area at the base of the climb.
