Little Red climbs a right facing dihedral and arete up 30 short but sweet ft. The movement is super varied and completely fun on this compact, treat of a route. The only gripe I've ever heard about this line is that people wish it were 100ft. longer.

Bolted line going up and left from the start of Lil Red. Thuggy and punchy.Not in any guidebook I’ve seen. Let me know what the name is if you have the info. 

A bit sandy and fragile in places. The bolt placements made some sections feel bold. Interesting movement. With more traffic could be a good route.

This isn’t in the most recent Handren book, and I don’t know the route name. If anyone has FA info and grade, please fix it. Also take the 5.10 grade with a grain of salt because I’m the worst at assigning grades.  Scramble over crumbly rock up the gully on easier terrain, using a few solid holds to the first 2 bolts. Or mantle the large ledge on the right, and use better holds to traverse left and through the first 2 bolts. The mantle start seemed better but a little harder. Crux seemed to be reaching the chains. But the true crux was for my belayer, who was dodging loose rock without short-roping, and getting dusted with constantly crumbling feet.Fun despite the length and rock quality, but I’m always stoked to climb anything.

Start at the left of two large huecos.  Work your way past 6 bolts on some pockets, sidepulls and edges to a two bolt anchor.   

  This is a fairly new route, and has a sandy, fragile feel to it.  This route will be good with more traffic. 

  I found this route difficult to rate because it has a boulder problem start that took me 5 or 6 tries to get and then it is 5.10 to the top.

This route might be best approached as a head point (as we did), and possibly with a few crashpads. The landing is littered with boulders and the first piece of gear is placed after the crux. Begin the route (refer to location). The climbing starts off with feet on a low angled section of white/brown rock and hands on the steeper section of undercut blocky rock above. Climb rightward through varnished crimps angling for a "pod," in the middle of a seam feature. From this "pod," follow the seam and flake as they wander slightly left and ultimately disappear into lower angled white rock. Continue up easy but unprotected slab until you top out on the formation and can build an anchor (refer to location). Place gear where you can on this route because it is sparse.

This climb while offering fun climbing has a lot to be desired in rock quality.  Start up chossy rock to a high first bolt through a cool thread in the rock.  This part is easy but scary due to the rock quality.  After the 1st bolt continue up to hard moves passing the second bolt and a nice rest at the bottom of large Hueco.  Navigate your way past the Hanta out of the Hueco and pull some more hard moves to get to the last bolt.  From there some balancy climbing gets you to the anchors.

This is not your typical Red Rocks' sport route. The climbing is more akin to Joshua Tree in style and finale (slabbery with a top out finish). Begin by standing on a boulder with your left hand on a big sidepull, and right hand in the seam. Twenty ft. of bouldery moves through vertical terrain, lead to 40 ft. of sustained, technical horizontal movement across a super thin arcing rail. Top out, there  is no anchor on the face. A bolted anchor exists 3 feet beyond the top out. To descend, walk off from the climb 50 or so yards to the east where you will be deposited at the east end of the 'Hidden Corridor,' proper.

The 'Hidden Corridor,' as its name implies, is an unobvious area that many walk by without notice en route to the more southeastern Sandstone Quarry crags. It is a very pretty location with varied climbing and interesting passageways, only a 5 minute walk from the car. Traditional, as well as sport climbing lines, exist here. The routes face in many different directions, so sun or shade can most likely be found at any time.
