Description
This route is actually on Rock Island 1, and is pretty much right in front of the bridge. This route is also very easy to toprope, but you will need long runners to reach over the lip from the anchors.The starting point for this is about 10m from the 5.7 route called Independent Route which is in Fred Knapp's
Front Range Topropes
. Start under the roof, moving quickly left and up the outside edge of the roof, reach up to a good hold with your left hand and head for the sloping, right-angling crack, do a hand over hand, and then a strenuous pullup to an undercling. From here, it gets easier to the top. The crux comes at putting in gear in the crack, but it is right at the start. This could probably be bouldered, but it would be a bold undertaking.
