Description:

This is the first line on the main Curbside wall. It's possible to head right from the previous lines but easier to walk back down to the road then follow the trail to the left near the next oil pump. From where the approach trail meets the wall, walk about 100 feet left and up to a ledge from where this and the next route can be accessed. This is the line on the left of the clean slab and begins left of a rounded flake-like feature. Burn rubber. Information obtained from redriverclimbing.com

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Climbing for the creative.

This was one of my favorite climbs at the Red. You need to trust your feet and think outside of the box. Trying to get from one mail slot to the next was a full body experience and I only wish I had climbed it again before we left. A must do if you're at curbside. Should also note the rock here isn't all that solid. My partner and I both broke off holds on this wall.

3 out of 5 stars trust your feet!

Spicy friction slab move at top. Casual and fun up to there. Rock is somewhat crumbly, some of the iron flake edges were breaking off.

4 out of 5 stars Trust your rubber

Short but interesting. I think I went too far to the left near the top b/c I had trouble reaching the last bolt before the anchors to hang the draw there, and had to use a frog. My partners stayed directly under the last bolt and didn't have any trouble.
