New 11-Pitch Red Rocks Route: Bromancing the Stone

Red Rocks is a popular destination in January because the south facing sandstone walls are warm enough to climb.

Chris Weidner and Jon Glassberg climbed a new 400-metre 5.10d on Jan. 8, and called it Bromancing the Stone.

Bromancing the Stone

This route is on the east face of the East Peak of Bridge Mountain.

The first six pitches climb a wide crack system. Park in a small pullout on the right, less than a mile before the Juniper Canyon parking lot and directly below the face.

Two bolted anchors were found in the first three pitches, and a bail anchor about 12 metres up the fourth pitch.
