High Wire Crag
About High Wire Crag:
|
Fun slab climbing with good sun exposure in winter. Most routes are on the long side so a 60 meter rope is a good idea. There are a few multi pitch routes on this crag, most notably "Peoples Choice" wich always seems to have people on it. This is a great place to spend an afternoon if you are a 5.10 leader or warm up here and move over to the Wall Of Justice for a good day of 5.12 climbing. Directions: Take US-6 from Golden, this crag is about 5 miles up canyon on the left side of Tunnel 2. Park in a "pull out" before reaching tunnel 2, the pullout is just across the river from The New River Wall |
