Start sitting matched with both of your hands in the diagonal crimp rail near the right side of the boulder, then move right out to the slopey crack rail feature, and follow it to the top.

Somehow this mega-classic was overlooked for many years, despite being right across the river from Animal.

Begin on the left side of the beautiful overhang, sitting on a perfect jug. Move up and right across the face via long moves between brilliant, incut crimps and rails to a finishing dyno/deadpoint to a positive sidepull. Top out up and right on easier terrain.

I have no doubt that this will become the most popular V12/13 in CCC; the holds are small yet incut, crispy but comfy, and the landing is very good (thanks to some log work). Originally graded V14 and dubbed “the Mirror Reality of Clear Creek,” numerous quick repeats dropped the grade to V13, and now it’s about 50/50 between V12 and V13, but it’s still a great line on RMNP-esque granite.

Start as for "

Fire In The Sky

."  Once the small crimps on the face above are gained move right into a slopy gaston with your right.  Next pull  like mad into a left handed (moon shaped) side-pull/crimp.  Working with terrible foot placements, pop out right to a crappy side pull then quickly move your right hand again to gain a better pinch.  Setup the feet and blast up with either your right or your left (move still not done!!) to snag a good but small crimp!!!  Then desperately toss onto the jugs above and climb them to the top-out!!!

This will be a desperate line for sure!!  Who ever gets the F.A. just let me know and I will post the name you have chosen if you decided to change the project reference name.  Happy hunting!!

This is a fun problem that must be done in the winter when there is ice at the bottom of the boulder, otherwise there's a two feet of water at the base. Start with your left hand low on a sidepull and your right hand in a good finger slot at about eye level. Move up left through some mono-crimps and a long move left to a sloper followed by a long right to a sloper and straight up to top out.

From two, fairly high, opposing sidepulls climb the face and shallow corner about 3 feet right of "

Smoke On The Water

." There is a much harder lower start which begins with the (R) on a rounded polished side-pull sloper and the (L) on a terrible undercling. This version is perhaps more like V9'ish?

The line is quite dirty but with time it should clean up nicely. It is a good warm-up for the "Fire In The Sky Boulder."

Start underneath the boulder by the river on a sloper and an undercling. Throw around the roof and get the slick crimpy rail, match, then go up left to a crimpy pinch hold. Then move up right with a heelhook to a slopey pocket, and match above. Top out up and right.

Start low by the river, just left of the yellow cannabis tree tagging. Continue straight up the arete to a long, hard cross move after the good rail (harder if you're shorter). Continue straight up for the topout, and DON'T GET WET!!!

Park at Little Eiger.  Below the road is a couple of large boulders. Truly Scrumptious is riverside on the right boulder as you face the road.

Sit start down above a rock and driftwood pile in a little cave with your left hand on a juggy hold in the crack between the boulders, and your right on a sloping pinch to the left of the big rail.  Move up and right to the two rounded crimps, then left to a bad pinch and bump to a sharp finger slot.  Then, set up to throw your right hand up to the jug beneath the grassy area on top, keep moving right on jugs to the highest point on the boulder, then mantle over.

This small boulder has an interesting short problem.  It starts left in a slopey corner and right on an undercling, bump to the slopey rail, and pull the lip to make an awkward mantle to topout.
