As per the new Rifle/Western CO guidebook, "Begin near the left side of the main slab, climb a steep gray face with a crux bulge low down.  This might be the best slab route on Glenwood limestone...."

Right on with that, excellent climbing.  The holds are not chalked up or polished, it makes for thoughtful climbing.  It is well worth the hike to the crag.

tie-off up above.  Enjoyable climbing the whole way, not always obvious holds, seems to be the norm for this crag.   Pull over the bulge crux up to the anchor.

Left side of the orange rock area, uphill about 50 yards from where the approach trail hits the crag.  Up the dihedral, past a ramp and up steep sloping ledges to a tree anchor.

Start by pulling over a weird bulge. Then some hard slabby moves, to a ledge. Finish on fun, easy slabbing.
