Frieda's Flake, 5.9

1st Pitch- 150’- 5.9/ This is one of the better chimney pitches at Red Rocks. A beautifully varnished corner is formed inside the chimney requiring mostly stemming moves. The cruxes are several moves at the grade to overcome small roof problems. The pro is plentiful and the rock solid. Eventually you get to a true parallel chimney slot. Exit the chimney at this point by climbing up and left onto the face of the flake. Continue up a few feet to a nice belay ledge and build an easy station into a solid crack.
