The Slot
Description
This route starts with a high, right sidepull and a good left hand crimp. Using the good foot hold on the right (shown in the picture), make a foot switch, and get a far left foot hold in order to position yourself for the high, right pinch. The move up to the pinch is definitely the crux, and be aware that it is kind of sharp. Moving your feet up wherever comfortable, bump your left hand up to one of the two the slopey edges. From there, get your right hand on the super good rail that takes you up to the finish, which is essentially where the positive crack ends about 20 feet up from the ground.
Note: the landing consists of a stump and a few rocks which you don't want to land on from higher up.
Location
Navigate to Performance Park or "Amphitheater Wall" in Estes Park. The start of "The Slot" is around the small overhang section, farther left of "
Shrek
" where there are no bolted sport routes. You will likely see the chalk on the right hand pinch higher up.
Protection
Bring a couple of pads, I rated this PG-13 just because of the height at which you probably don't want to fall.
