Description Suggest change

This area is probably visited more often for bouldering The Drain, a popular right to left traverse between Shakespearean Theatre and Revolution Buttress. These walls are directly north of where The Inner Canyon Trail and The Lake Gulch Trail intersect in the upper canyon. Look for a tall southwest-facing wall with a vertical black water streak (Wordy Drama).

Getting There Suggest change

Park in the western lot above the south rim which is accessed via the main entrance off of Parker Road (CO Hwy 83). Take either The Inner Canyon Trail or The Lake Gulch Trail down into the upper, or inner, canyon. The two trails converge directly below the routes, which are on The North Rim.
