[VIDEO] “The Great Red Roof” (5.13b) in the Red Rocks

A relatively recent first free ascent by Tom Moulin, this roof crack was a long-standing project for decades, thwarting attempts by some legendary crack climbers, perhaps most notably those of Hidetaka Suzuki in the 1980s.

The Great Red Roof follows an offset beveled crack for twenty-five feet, yet allows only a handful of jams due to its unique angles. A large flake-jug broke when he started working the route, making the transition into the final sloper-campus section considerably harder. In the end, he used an inverted undercling method instead.
