Yes, soft for a 4 but seemed like every screw on the last pitch was biting some air beneath the surface. Great climb, thanks for adding it! (We did the climb on a day trip from Red Rocks on the recommendation of Desert Rock Sports in Vegas.)

Re: Missed you by two days!
that is wild, my first and only Utah ice to date....funny...
I thought my screws (blue) were pretty good...but I would not be suprised what a few warms days would do to that fall....
Going to be at Red Rocks tomorrow, Epinephrine....my first time on it...supposed to be a classic...enjoy your travels.,..
Looks like an amazing climb. But based on photos I'd say WI3 all the way. I always believe you need sections of 100% vertical for WI4 and this climb has none. But that doesn't make it any less worth doing!
true..but I find the lower 48 grades ratched up compared to what I am use to in Canada....most of CO's 4's seem more like 3's as well and in fairness to the FAers/guidebook on this one, they at least call it 3-4. Cheers
