Catching the Quarry Direct

This is a three-bolt direct start on the right to

Catching the Quarry

. I preclipped bolt 2 to avoid kicking my belayer in the head.

It is standard Front Range 13-: boulder problem to a ledge to 5.11 - beta-intensive, but it comes together well if you have the patience to sort it out. Hint: begin leftish, move rightish, then up. A right kneepad is helpful.

This is good on a sunny winter afternoon with highs in the 30s to 40s. It gets sun from 1p till 4p.

It starts right of

Catching the Quarry

then joins it for the final three bolts on nice basalt crimpers up the headwall.

Six bolts.
