Lower Ruper

The first pitch and a half of 'Ruper' in Eldorado Canyon. The red is the standard route, you go towards the ledge and then must traverse to a 5.8+ off-width. The purple is the 'Rover' variation, which is rated at 5.9 but will take smaller gear. If you continue on 'Rover' it becomes much more difficult and turns into a 10d. Make sure you are solid at these grades because routes at Eldorado tend to be sandbagged.
