This was an old project of Craig Luebben's. Craig's version goes right at the last roof to finish through some awkward chimney feature. I bolted the line directly up the beautiful steep arete that hangs over CO Highway 14.

Craig's Quest

Rusty Chains & Yellow Tat route

Don't Damn It

The Odyssey

At around 100 feet tall, this bolted route is a good romp for a budding leader.  While the bulk of the route is composed of step-like ledges and large knobs (5.5 or easier), there are two slightly more difficult sequences between the 1st and 2nd bolts and again just below the anchor (5.6).

This has generally good rock, but lichen abounds. There are some loose blocks on the arete climber's right of the route-- so watch out if doing TR variations.

This is VERY well-protected, a nice route for beginning leader at the grade. It is a little dirty with lichen and road dust but overall a fun route with good holds and options the entire way up.

The first bolt is an easy 5.6 towards the right side of the face, then move up left towards the 2nd bolt. There is no real crux, just fun, well-protected moves the entire way up.

We rapped down from the 2 bolts at the base of the chimney and kinda barely made it to the ground with rope stretch on a 70m. It is recommended to walk off to the east after you top out through the super easy chimney.

The Odyssey is a classic Luebben route from the early '90s. This is the left line in the topo of

Don’t Damn It

.

Climb the face past two small roofs to the large roof. Make a long reach out the roof, and scamper to the anchors.
