Crowtein

Eat your Wheaties for this one. "

"Crowtein"

is a wild, dynamic ride of a route and one of the more steeper routes in the entire South Platte.

Stickclip the low chain draw (the first bolt under the roof helps for the belayer whilst figuring out the move), and begin the fight.

A large entrance move get you to a jug where an incredibly core intensive boulder problem awaits (clocks in around

V8

). Gain the jugs above the chain, and surf left with some easier climbing to a stand-able ledge.

Leaving the ledge lies another cryptic and incredibly dynamic boulder problem (

V7

). This is stylistic of something you'd find on southern sandstone. Clip the chain draw, and cruise easier moves/holds up the tiered roof finish.

Top out the cliff for full value, and scramble down the chimney to the east!

This is a fun, bouldery line in a beautiful setting with tons of exposure to boot up high.

It is located just to the right of "

Bird Law

" and can be identified by a chain draw at the second bolt/roof feature.

6 bolts. The first bolt under the roof is best used for directional to help belaying/decrypting lower crux. I highly advise using a stickclip to remove it once the climber is past the lower crux in order to reduce drag.
