    About

    Kenose Eskapa is a 5.13b YDS sport, 80 ft (24 m) located in Rifle > Rifle Mtn Park > Ruckman Cave. First ascent by Darek Krol, Colton McEntee. This ascends the beautiful blue and gold streaked wall just left of Red Dawn. Climb easy stone up the right side of the huge block that sits next to the wall. Move out right onto the wall at the third bolt, and climb though a series of powerful deadpoints to a good shake at about mid-height. Another difficult section on small holds leads to a tricky traverse out left to a shallow, right-facing corner. Balancy moves up the corner lead to jugs at the anchor. Protection: 12 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
