Access Issue: MM 23-29.5 - now ended daily CO 7 highway closure/delays
Details
Per Kai Bouwman: the daily CO 7 highway closure/delay access issue is no longer a problem according to CDOT the construction finished as of Nov. 11, 2022.
From CDOT: Colorado Highway 7 is closed daily from MP 23-29.5. Motorists can only travel through the area between 6-8 am and 4-7 pm. During these timeframes, pilot cars will lead alternating one-way travel. Drivers should plan for delays, and this schedule will remain in place through Memorial Day 2022.
During the closure, motorists need to take US 36 to CO 7.
Start below the overhanging crack, beginning in the wide crack. Ascend watching out that you don't pull the loose block on your belayer. The higher you go, the harder it gets to about 10+ maybe 11-. At the top, find two bolts to rap from. It looks nasty but is actually a good route.
Location
In the large inset opposite Cold Water Drama, this route ascends the west corner, to a 2 bolt rap.
Protection
One set of cams from large to finger size and a set of nuts. Don't over do it. Taping up will help!
