Laura in the crux of Convicted Felon.

Description This is a crimper's delight. It is also good for the reach impaired as there are a lot of tiny intermediates. This is the route just left of Punishment for Shoplifting which is much discussed in the comments for that route.
This is continuous, vertical 11- in the bottom half, then cruxy off-vertical climbing on solid rock with variously oriented, small holds from bolts 6 to 8. There are a couple of decent rests before the business. Bonus: the crux clips are pretty easy.
Location This is between Schwing Salute and PFS.
Protection 8 bolts.
Ms. Kimball looking casual.

Finishing up nicely.

| Really great route. Now that I finally sent it I don't have to guard my opinion in order to keep attention off it. |

| Called 'Convicted Felon' in the new guidebook, I think. Really good route with varied climbing that builds up to a nice crux. |

| The rebolting seems to be a bit excessive. Safer than the gym. |

| Huh? Did this get retrobolted, Geoff? |

| It looks like at some point it was updated, there are permanent heavy duty biners on the lowering chains. I don't know anything about the history of the route this could have been the original bolt spacing but the lower section is over protected. Twice I was able to unclip the draw below and move it up to the next bolt. |

| Nothing wrong with an overprotected parent for a climb when it comes to bolts. I was delighted to find out how crimpy and cruxy the upper section of this route is. Great line for people who love face climbing! |

| Fantastic route and one of the best routes I have done in Clear Creek. Who knew that Monkey House was so close to Wall of the '90s but sees very little traffic. A pumpy and gentle travere left on slopers takes you to a good rest and then 10 feet of techy/thin face climbing. This stone is perfect! Awesome! Do it.... |
