This is the second highest route in CO! It has very easy climbing, and the views are priceless. It is best to toprope, though you could trad climb it, though it is probably not worth it.

A Massive Problem is a 1-3 inch crack that runs up 35 meters. It is pretty covered in lichen. Protect with trad gear for the 1-3 inch crack.A toprope anchor can be set up at the top of the route. There are plenty of good rocks to sling.

Start at the bottom of said rock in the

. Work your way up and to the left on the wall, being sure to grab hold of the firm, yet giving, love handles of the massive ass. Reach a small ledge 20 feet below the belay hole. Move to the right side of ledge, and climb last bit of wall to get back in to the b-hole.

From the base, you will climb the large crack on the right. Then about 20 feet up a small "cave" opens up, and the route goes the rest of the pitch to the "Belay Cave".

This is the highest climb in CO. It is an easy send.

Climb a solid finger crack for 30' that leads to a small ledge with loose rock. Continue up and right through good hand crack with some face holds. Traverse gap to slight overhang on the right, and finish at the belay cave.

I hope you enjoy loose rocks and lichen!

Start out with a small lichen covered overhang, and head straight up to a decent belay edge.

Climb up the face. The first few moves are all pinchers and decent footholds until you meet the middle of the wall where you move into a crack climb section, your last move before you cross over a flat ledge to the second half of the climb, which is easier than the first. Finish over the triangular rock's exposed side. Finish in the belay hole.
