Routes as sport in Colorado Springs

Follow bolts to anchor

The route begins behind a large boulder about 70' to the right of West Point Crack. The first piton if reached by getting between the boulder and South Gateway Rock and climbing up and left on a steep ramp. From there, follow the obvious line where the white and red sandstone meet and form a crack/edge. This leads to a face climb protected by 4 pins straight up to double anchors. Rap from the anchors or continue up the second pitch which ascends an angling ramp up and right.

P1 - First pitch of Credibility Gap P2 - Traverse up and right pass 8 drilled pitons

Short bolted line at the south end of the West Face, around the corner from the South Face top rope slab.

bolts all the way to anchor

Starts on low angle terrain at the far left of the left side, follow bolts through steeper terrain.

Climbs the steep slab left of the prominent arete.

Climbs the prominent arete to the right of Cat Don't Piss on My Rope. Look for a high first bolt.

Climb the slot 20 ft up behind the spire to a high anchor.

From the top of the gully, follow the bolt line through a techy crux at about mid-height on the vertical section, then through gradually easing angle and difficulty to a two bolt anchor.

About 60 feet left of Army Route, Kendlee can be identified by two bolts on the left wall of the short, right-facing dihedral at the top of the route. Currently the leftmost developed line on the Pinnacle's east aspect.

Climbs an arete about 20 feet right of Kendlee.

To the right of Corrugation Corner, climb a low angle slab to the first bolt above the horizontal crack and follow bolts to an anchor atop the arete.

Bolted line to the right of the open book corner start of Army Route.

Pitch 1 - Start in a water streak with a bolt 5 feet above the horizontal crack. Clip 9 bolts to an anchor.

Pitch 2 - From the anchor head up and left past 4 more bolts (the first is hard to see) to another anchor.

Sustained climbing on decent rock to the right of Full Monte.

Great moderate sport route in beautiful and exposed setting; best in the canyon in this user's view. Anchor on ledge at top of first pitch are good enough; second belay is from a tree 15 ft. back from a ledge to climber's left before the top of the wall. Crux move comes at a small bulge in the second pitch. First pitch is a bit runout on easy ground. An excellent first multi-pitch lead, as the climbing is mighty fun and the anchors, when used thoughtfully, are bomber. Descent is down the back side through a gulley to the West.

To the right of South Buttress route. Follow bolt line to anchor.

About 150' up the gully from the South Buttress, this is the leftmost bolted line at Tinseltown. Liebacks lead to face moves as the route progresses.

Second route from the left at Tinseltown

Third route from the left at Tinseltown. Easily identified by a chain hanging from the first bolt.

To the right of Royal Wedding. Start in a small, right-facing corner to a loose layback. Then go right on good rock to the obvious roof. Pull the roof, and climb to the anchor.

Rightmost route at Tinseltown. Start by climbing just right of a right-facing corner, then pull the small roof on the left to another roof just before the anchors.

A long bolted line on a buttress near Catamount Falls. Low crux leads to easier terrain. Fairly good quality route that would clean up with more ascents. Felt like 5.10 to my party.

One of the more aesthetically pleasing lines in RRCOS, this route follows a right-arching flake/crack on the far left end of the Ripple Wall.

The grading of this route has generated some controversy as it seems harder than the 5.11 rated route to it's left. Cruxy off the ground and through the first 2 bolts, then eases significantly.

A short dicey route just right of "Jumping Th Gun" . Edge and smear up the right side of Ripple Wall to anchors on a shelf. Three bolts to a two bolt anchor. 45 Feet - (Stewart Green, Red Rock Canyon Open Space 2004)

Bolted line between Among the Stars and Aphrodite. Thin and technical down low, easing toward the top.
