Description Trick or Treat is a fun new mixed route that goes up the right side of the Dan's Line slab.
Start as for Dan's Line, at a flat boulder. Climb straight up the slab past two bolts, and continue to a steep headwall. Move right and surmount the headwall (crux). Continue up to a right-angling crack. Climb the crack, then angle left past two more bolts to the anchor shared with Dan's Line.
Location At a flat boulder, just left of Hold the Line. Same start as Dan's Line.
Protection 7 bolts and 1 or 2 cams (green #0.75 and red #1 Camalots) for the crack. 2-bolt anchor with lowering hooks.

| The crux feels more like a gym route. Other than that section, it's easier than 5.8. The crack section is very easy. |

| The crack is probably 5.4, so no gear is really needed unless you feel the need to sew it up. |

| Why do these routes even exist? This is what the gym is for. |

| Another fun moderate for this area. I agree with the above comments - there's really only a few 5.8 parts. I placed two cams in the crack for peace of mind, but the climbing was very easy at that point. Still, thought it was a fun route and a good introduction to placing gear on lead, given the difficulty at the placements and the bolts before and after. |

| This is a very fun route for beginners and is a great warm up! The location, high up the canyon wall, makes it a great place to take people new to Colorado! They always love it! |
