Hi everyone -- just got back to civilization.
Happy to report that my partner Drew and I have equipped this route with nice new shiny bolts, changing it to a multi-pitch sport climb that goes at about 5.8. Thanks to the Northwestern Climbing Coalition for the donation of hardware. I'll be putting this up on MountainProject shortly -- I need a shower!
Elusive Western Colorado 5er Finally Climbed!

On another note, LoJ shows 51 remaining unclimbed ranked peaks in Colorado (by members). Of those, only perhaps 7 are unclimbed because of technical difficulty. This creative ascent shows that maybe anything is possible for those too.
