Description:
Some of the best climbing in Red Rocks. Pitch 1: Cruise up the book liebacking, friction climbing as you go. Traverse left and up about 15' after the lieback. 100', 5.8. Pitch 2: Cruise up the friction face to the first bolt about 20' away, then head up and slightly right to a protrusion from the book. Climb around this, clip the bolt and then do the lieback. Cruise the face inside the chimney straight up to the top. The bolts up top are in a scoop. 120', 5.8 Notes: This climb is 5.8PG, and if youre just getting into 5.8's, you'll want to bring some bigger cams for this climb. There are runout sections and it can definitely be intimidating. However, this is a megaclassic climb and must not be missed!Descent Options:
Scramble down the back side

great first lead
this would be great for people looking for their first trad/multi pitch leads. It's harder if you stick to the dihedral all the way on pitch one.

Beautiful View!
Wonderfull view, makes a great place to take a beginner multipitch climber. I thought it was pretty easy, even for a 5.8.

Great easy beginner multi-pitch climb!
This route was an absolute blast! This was my first true multi-pitch trad climb. I drub my climbing partner up it (who was hesitant at first) and now he's already talking about much bigger climbs! A must do.
