Yesterday I went out with a Matt Lloyd to investigate and shoot a new line on River Wall in Clear Creek. Note: This line isn't exactly new, it's just unsent. River Wall is one of the under appreciated walls in the canyon, seeing relatively little traffic to other surrounding walls. This is primarily due to access. All climbs are accessed by climbing a 5.7 to a ledge high off the river, then traversing along the ledge to either climb up to the top of the wall or to lower down to the river and climb back out.
Here are some photos of a line (name unknown) it climbs a fun 5.11 section before entering a difficult boulder problem involving large moves on nothing slopers and small very sharp crimpers. And the exposure is pretty cool too.
Enjoy.
