What's here
5.6 to 5.12, mostly around 5.10.
Counted from the 23 climbs here that carry a grade. Shown only where there are at least 5 of them — below that the shape is noise.
How well located
Base placed (one source) 3 Position on wall known 25
The order of the climbs along this wall is known from the open catalogue, so a few surveys go a long way: standing at Iron Butterfly, Falcon Spires Highline (2 climbs, about 60 seconds on Falcon Spires) would place up to 7 more climbs between them. Survey the wall →
“Up to” because the estimate between two surveyed routes is only used when they turn out to be close enough together on the ground.
Rock, from the geologic map
Rocks of Pikes Peak Batholith (1000-m.y. age group) (Pikes Peak Granite, Mount Rosa Granite, Windy Point Granite, Redskin Granite) — granite, alkali feldspar granite, minor quartz monzonite. Mesoproterozoic, about 1,600 to 1,000 million years old.
Includes Pikes Peak, Mount Rosa, Windy Point, and Redskin Granites and unnamed rocks
This is the map unit under this crag's map point, read from the 1:500,000 sheet (Horton and others, 2017, U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 1052). The point can be a few hundred metres from the rock, a cliff often stands on the line between two units, and at that scale a line on the map is about 500 m wide on the ground, so the wall itself may be the neighbouring unit. Every crag on this unit: Rocks of Pikes Peak Batholith (1000-m.y. age group). Geology data: Macrostrat (CC BY 4.0), serving USGS and Colorado Geological Survey maps.

Straight line between the two crags' map points, each of which can be some way from its rock. For when this wall is full, or the sun has found it.
