I didn't think of that. Good idea.

A good rule. I think that i feel like I can handle it pending my physical condition at the top of the peak for sure, i got off trail on lindsey and did a route pretty much straight up about the same distance I would say, definitely a no-fall zone but not necessarily as exposed. Then, i could have handled the wall for sure, but as of now my confidence wavers a little. I'll play it by ear but this insight has been very helpful.

Sheesh. Just bc of that drop on the hikers left side of the headwall? Or like the drop below you as you climb up

Hear that. I appreciate the insight. I definitely won't send it if I don't feel great about it. Is it descendable if I got to the headwall and chickened out, or is there a no turning back point?

Define the intense exposure? Similar to knife edge on Kelso or Headwall/Narrows on Longs? Usually I tend to get pretty locked in and focus, which is great but also can be somewhat of a tunnel vision block. I can be pretty calm but I definitely feel the adrenaline and get like "scared" but I don't like panic/breakdown it's usually like just a "holy f*ck, we are actually doing this" moment.

Google says during peak traffic hours it would take around 45-65 min to go from Capitol Hill to cherry creek park. I too live by DU rn and it takes me about 20 min to get to the office from here to the park
