Start sitting with both hands on a choice of incuts at 4 feet. Gain the slopey sidepull undercling, and power out left to a good incut. The V6ish version continues angling left on grainy slopers. The V5ish version heads straight up to a good jug and finishes directly above. The V5 version is probably the better line, but the V6 version is how it was originally done.

The large jug to the right of the dihedral is 'off'.

Though slightly contrived, this line is still very worthwhile. Body position makes a big difference on this one.

Start crouched with both hands matched on a good jug. Head straight up the faint corner on good holds.

This is a reasonably enjoyable warm-up.

Start standing with your left hand on an incut edge at around 5.5 feet and your right hand on the arete at the same level. (The start will feel quite spanned out to those shorter in stature.) Climb the double arete feature, exiting right after gaining the apex.

Per

Ross Perrot

: you can also exit left, which adds an extra move or two.

This has brilliant compression climbing and is definitely one of Telluride's best.

Start standing with both hands on the large jug shelf. A large dyno or the use of an intermediate leads to a gritty sloper above. Finish out on good holds.

This is a fun, little climb.

This problem broke in the Fall of 2019 and became noticeably harder as a result.

It now starts standing with your left hand utilizing a slopey cobble crimp at 7 feet and the right hand on a small crimp at 6 feet (just left of the starting hold of 'Gravity's Rainbow). Pull up to a slopey edge (or don't) and then dyno for the juggy triangular shaped hold above. Finish out on grainy, but good holds.

More repeats are needed to confirm the grade post break.

Start standing with some small edges at 5-6 feet, and climb the center of the tall slab. It has perfect rock and engaging movement.
