An excellent route. A bit soft for the grade, but good quality climbing for sure.

No "shirt police" necessary. :-) Self-censorship, if you will.

Most stuff is in Red-Rocks.

Super fun though!

It isn't less or more comfortable.

Incorrect.

Condition dependent.

What I don't understand is why shirtless douches say they go shirtless to increase their range of movement and to prevent binding and they all wear the tightest pair of tapered levi's on the market. WTF

Because they're all powerhouse campus machines. Who gives a damn about being able to move your legs properly? If I did, I'd take my pants off too.

That said, I've never worn a shirt that caused enough restriction to my movement that I just had to tear it off to send. I do find, however, that in high heat and humidity, having my shirt sticking to my body is a distracting element. I doubt I climb tangibly harder with my shirt off in those situations, but I do focus a little better and, more importantly, enjoy the experience a little more.
