New to my top 10 list!
Wow, what a great introduction to Red Rocks! Thanks to local guy, Mark, for bringning me on this beautiful route. Every pitch has something nice in it and every pitch is better than the last one, with a final crack that I would have wanted to never end and a final crux on the very last move with a nicely hidden thank-god jug!
Hardest pitch for me was the 3rd one with the ramp after the bolt: should have listnened to Mark and stepped down left instead of traversing higher up to get to the vertical crack.
Memorable, just memorable.

Soft for the grade, but super nice!
I failed to see any 5.7 on the route, but hugely enjoyed the exposed 3rd pitch and protection on chickenheads! Now THAT was fun!

Fun, more when wet ;-) !
The 1st pitch was totally wet, but the beautiful second pitch was only dripping. Very nice climb. I kinda wonder about the solidity of the flake on pitch 2, but it's not the sort of route you'd fall on anyway...

Annual pilgrimage?
Great sandbag. Loved it! The route-finding lower down in the climb was more complex than I remembered, but really, it's impossible to get lost with that bit splitter up there...

Gosh this is a nice route
Gnarly start, intricate traverse, exposed ridge and spectacular exit. The Gunks at it's very best!

Great climb! Look for the obvious left slanting crack above the boulders about 200m right of Tache Blanche. 1st pitch do the perfect crack to end of rope (60m). 2nd 60m pitch: Follow same crack system with 1 small roof and 1 small headwall. The headwall is quite intimidating as it does not look well protected with a ledge landing: No worry, protection spots appear as you climb this crux. DO THE SECOND PITCH! It is well worth it!

A real classic. The first pitch variant (Persistance) is officially graded 5.7 but it felt more like 5.8 - it was the hardest pitch on the route anyhow. We combined pitch 2 and 3 into one: rope drag ensued, but not too bad. Those 2 traverse pitches are pure beauties: 5.6 and 5.6 with tons of exposure! Exit pitch is short, exposed, intense and well protected with small pro: 5.7 if you are tall, 5.8 for short people.
I can confirm: Single rap off two 60m ropes from the summit bolts: free hanging most of the way down...
Update: All belay stations are now well equipped with 2 bolts each. The climb itself though is 100% trad.

Interesting 2nd pitch with lots of traverse and some downclimbing: think hard of the 2nd! 3rd pitch looks kind of dirty (i.e. bird poop) from below, but is actually quite interesting.
