"Starting just right of the cave, this route climbs a long varnished streak up a line of shallow huecos and horns. This would be a good route with a bit of traffic."A powerful start on shallow huecos leads to good moves on big crimps. Ample rest before the last punch to the chains. Probably deserves 2.5 stars in its current shape, 3.5 once it's cleaned.

This is one of the best 11d's in Red Rocks but is rarely done. Overhanging pumpy climbing on decent edges.

V6 boulder problem into a fairly blank technical section before encountering several small delicate holds. Be prepared for holds to break off as you are climbing, sending you into an unexpected but well-protected fall. Upper section is decent. Type II fun.

Short, steep, cruxy climb.  5.11a in the Handren book, but the crux feels harder than that now.  Used to be a chossy climb, so would not be suprisingly if it has changed over time.

Four part climb:  Tricky slab leads to steeper pulls up fragile rock following a seam, then steeper yet up good pumpy incut edges, finally finishing on horrible slopers to the anchor. Well protected, pumpy, and thought provoking. Good fun despite some hollow holds. And kind of a sandbag. :)

This sweet route starts with some thin technical moves right off the deck and stays sustained pretty much to the top.

Sun and shade at this excellent cliff. Several quality routes here and well worth spending a day here.
