Fragile Alpine Area MORE INFO >>> This is a fragile alpine bouldering area and following Leave No Trace principles is important. Never stash pads. Do not alter landings, chip or glue holds, or remove or alter vegetation. Walk on hard surfaces such as boulders or established trails. Store your gear on boulders instead of dirt or vegetation. Clean up spilled chalk and tick marks and brush holds. Keep your presence low key and unobtrusive. Pack out everything you brought and anything else that shouldn't have been left there. RMNP rangers are very aware of the impact that bouldering has on this environment. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

A RMNP classic. One of the very best V11s in all of Colorado. Very cool holds, technical beta, perfect landing, and great body tension give this route four stars.

Crux for me is holding the tension after sticking the undercling and getting my right foot into a backstep on the rail, although some people think it is going to the undercling.

From the undercling and sidepull it is V9 and is the original line called Veritas. Veritas Low Left begins on flake down and left from the vertical sloping rail on Veritas Assis proper.

Location 

The center line on the Veritas Boulder. Identified by the large vertical sloping rail.

Protection 

Lots of pads. Spotters. The upper section is very committing.
