Description Climb up on top of the large boulder that divides the upper River Wall traverse. Then the fun begins. A thin 11d section leads to the 12b crux at a roof. A huge ledge afer this crux gives a great rest, use it. Finish on delicat yet somewhat powerful overhung moves with some fun underclings, 11d. Excellent route.
Protection 10 bolts/2 bolt anchor. Bring a few extra draws in case this count is off.

| Correct.....while not a car sized ledge, it is big enough for a no hands rest, although some balance is needed, so this qualifies as huge in my book..... |

| Easy 11d. I'm 5'4" |

| Probably one of the best easy-12 routes in Clear Creek |

| I think the moves below and above the crux roof are technically harder. I would have a hard time calling any move 5.12, but lots of sustained, long powerful 11 moves. (6'2", +4) Very fun line! Easy to swing over left to the anchors of Viagra for a TR, or hanging draws. |

| It's a bit easier than Viagra Falls so I'd call it 12a. Very nice climbing though. |

| No move harder than 11d, but much harder than "Hey Good Lookin". Great route and pumpy. Slightly easier than Adventure Kayak.... |
