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

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.

p2 easier than p1
the offwidth alcove on the first pitch was a bit awkward. were we supposed to pass by on the left? all the rest was a sweet blast. the liebacks were fun. it was over too soon.

Just standing at the bottom....
looking up at the big wall of red sandstone on the right is pretty awe inspiring. Cool on a breezy day - the corner seemed to funnel the wind right past us rather than sheltering us. The walkoff was quick and easy. Followed Joe V.
