Description
This is a really good slab with quite a bit of variety, and it's very well-protected! The crux comes right away at the steepest part with a couple super thin, hard cranks, high steps and thumb mantles. When the angle kicks back, the finger holds seem to disappear and it is .11/.10 friction action. The upper section is 5.4ish terrain.
#1
of the
"CO Northern Front Range 5.12 Pure Slab Trilogy"
(my suggestions and all non-Splatte routes).
#2
is
Frisky Puppies
(Donahue/Harvey). A funky, sustained friction-paddling and smedging pitch at Lumpy Ridge on the Book.
#3
is
Blood For Oil
(also Luebben) on Combat Rock, for a friction slab and patina steep face/slab pitch and a bulge to steep slab 2nd pitch.
Honorable mentions:
**
Greensleeves
on Rock Of Ages (steep slab crimpin')
**
Radlands Of Infinity
on Blob Rock (1st pitch is crux and it's a scratch-fest/ 2nd pitch is thin crack and funky slab---link pitches)
**Razor Hein Stick on Bitty Buttress (short but fierce friction bumps)
Location
This is on the South Slabs, Lower Tier and off the left side of the mini-ledge. It is the right side water streaks... and the leftmost bolted route.
Protection
Bolts...I would recommend running up the ramp to set up the anchor first (perhaps there is a bolted anchor).
Per
Mojo Stylee
: "there's no fixed pro past the 3rd bolt (if there still is a third bolt)."
