Description
This obvious crack faces north and can be seen from the 'Red Rocks' Simulator Wall when looking up river.
Begin with dual, right-facing corners, placing gear and passing one protection bolt as you connect corners. Then follow a splitter through easier roof moves and pods.
Although the FA crew encountered some choss near the upper roof and cleaned it as best we could, there is still some questionable rock. The route protects well and is worth the effort with some excellent moves along the bottom half of the pitch. The switching corner moves are perhaps the best, and a single bolt protests this section well.
