Borrowed from Todd Swain's Classic Rock Climbs: Red Rocks.   "Given as a Christmas present! Start 8' right of the last route (Death Before Decaf-12b), at a shallow, left-facing corner by a small pine and oak.  Clip 6 bolts as you climb along seams to a chain anchor." 

  Really a 1 move route, rest of it goes at 10something.  Crux is about 1/3 of the way up but the fun doesn't stop until you're at the anchors!

Begin just to the left of Gift Wrapped and do a few traverse moves left on good varnished holds.  After this, proceed up fun climbing on decent holds to the 4th bolt.  The crux comes here and holds have broken over the years.  After the crux, easier climbing on decent holds leads to the chains.

Probably something has broken on this one over the years. It is diffenetly not 11a like the Swain book says. Delicate climbing on small crimps will get you to some powerful move towards the top then travese right to finish at the chains.

The best route on the cliff. The crux involves a long move past the third bolt. You can step around left on the ledge to get a rest or climb straight up (this probably makes the route 12a). From the ledge a scary but not as hard as it looks move back around right will get you back into 5.10 climbing to finish the route.

Thin face climbing to a reachy crux. Nice ledge in the middle to catch a rest before the slabby finish to the chains.

The second route on this cliff. A bouldery start that shares the first few holds with Presents of Mind, then traverses right into steep climbing on good holds to the anchors.

Funky route. The climb stays way off to the left of the bolts and then traverses back right on balancy moves.

Powerful boulder moves right off the ground lead to a flared crack and a bit of runout at the top.

The start is quite balancy and a bit technical. After the so-so rest on the ledge launch into the pumpy crux section and try to hang on till the top.

This and Saddam's Mom are the 2 classics at the cliff. The start involves a funky move out of an alcove on to the face. Then climb along the parallel cracks and fight the pump to the anchor.

Sun most of the day, easiest routes are 11a
