Description
This route is the second bolted route from the right on the Crystal Wall. The first bolted route on the right is Fantastic Voyage which I believe Craig Luebben put up. Tour de Poudre is well-bolted, goes about 100 feet for the first pitch, and has two rap anchors at the top. The first pitch goes around 5.10a/b. The second pitch is a bit shorter and more difficult. The second pitch is also well-bolted, has rap anchors, and goes around 5.12b/c. I am not absolutely sure of these ratings, although I feel they should be close.
Location
Locate the large vertical crack splitting the North face of Crystal Wall. Tour de Poudre is the second route to the right.
Protection
The first pitch, 10a, 11 draws plus anchors. Second pitch, 12a/b, 7 bolts plus anchors.
