Rose Hips, 5.7

4th Pitch- 190’- 5.6/ Traverse on that small varnished ledge with no pro for about 30’-40’ or so. You can angle up to the crack, or traverse all the way into it. I would avoid placing gear low in the crack to avoid rope drag. Climb the crack up to a comfortable spot to build a belay as you near the end of the rope. Rose Hips, 5.7, 5 Pitches and High Anxiety, 5.10c, 6 Pitches, Brownstone Wall South, Juniper Canyon, Red Rocks, NV, April, 2009

Re: nice

about 500' from the ground at this point....this is one of two lower grade routes you can use to reach the much better rock on either of the Brownstone Walls above (vs hiking in)....I think Myster Z is a better, quicker option now that I have done both...cheers
