Straight Shooter Wall

The Straight Shooter Wall is a relatively short crag for Red Rocks and while it shares geology and Geography with its nearby twin, the Brass Wall, is has routes of a different character. Like it's neighbor, it is clearly not the Red Rocks classic canyon wall nor the classic Red Rocks sport crag with the wild red overhangs. It is however, a nice crag with a day or half-day's worth of 5.11 mixed or bolted climbs and worth a visit if in the area.

The Straight Shooter gets good daytime sun in the winter, and like the Brass Wall, the dark hard patina over the smooth rock gives it a bright glare in the strong light, and also forms the crags character: smooth, solid, and pleasant overall, though slick in spots. The lines here are varied with a few cracks and faces or both primarily in the easy 5.11 range.

Once here, the nearby Brass Wall offers a few sunnier route opportunities with mostly easy to moderate grades. If you find yourself seeking sun, the Beer and Ice Gully is your place to go, with routes from 5.10 to 5.13-(trad!).
