Description:
Crimson Chrysalis is one of those climbs listed in the NA Classics. It is a spectacular crack system that ascends the massive pillar on the north side of Rainbow Moutain. Head up the obvious ramp to the base of the pillar. Locate the massive crack disappearing into the sky. Although only 5.8+, it is still a major undertaking. Watch the rope-eating rappels.Beta/Updates: For those interested, although the Uriostes bolted this line more than usual due to lack of wide pro for the crack, many of the current bolts have been added for convienence.

red rocks memorial day weekend
While people were getting rained out elsewhere, being on Crimson Chrysalis over Memorial Day weekend was a great treat. People think it's too hot at RR during this time, but not the case for this climb/much less crowds. Very fun, sustained 5.8, bring gear, don't be afraid of the run-out, it's all there.
