This is a small crag with about 10 routes in the Practice Rock/Bowling Alley area. Its submission was triggered by a reorganization of the Boulder Canyon section. The original route here was The Hard They Come, 11 by K. Lugbill & C. Newmann back in 1980. At one point, this was an area to head towards, to get away from the crowds.

The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for The Lookout:
Dozer Rage is a V6 boulder problem that could be bouldered out w/ enough pads and spotters. Anyway, this 5 bolt route is on the upper tier above the Tungsten Mine Shaft. It's about 30 feet left of the "The Harder They Come", which is the thin crack that diagonals left across the face, and immediately left of "Blue Flame", which is the 4 bolt line that starts right of the blunt prow -- see Rolofson's new guide (Volume II) for more details....[more]Browse More Classics in CO
Granby: a 5.9 route (3 bolts and 2 bolt anchor). Climb a short, right-facing corner to a roof. Hand traverse left around the roof, past first bolt, to a mantle onto a small ledge, past a 2nd bolt. Climb easy moves to finish. (FA: Mark Rolofson and Mary Reidmiller, 2004).
