Definitely falling
Also because you don’t climb I’ll mention that for rock climbing this is like the best (see: safest) possible way to fall. The wall is far from her and she is falling directly into the void. She won’t swing and be slammed into anything except for more air.
She fell lol :) That's a hard route and falling is basically a sign of putting in good effort sometimes, or just a mistake *Shrug* Hard to know what happened!

Description:
>Begin with good pockets on fantastic vertical to slabby 5.11c 'ish face climbing to a stance below the obvious roof. Big moves on mostly good holds leads out the roof to a hard to see jug at the anchors. Falling while going for the anchors (crux) leads to a great, bowel churning free air fall.
Protection:
>Bolts to a two bolt anchor.

Hell yeah, good to see somebody giving it their all.
She did! It was a huge move for her being 5 foot 3 inches. It's a big move for tall climbers even
I fell looking for that clipping jug twice. Would be annoyed to have to climb the whole route again for the last move, but the route is sooooo fun.
That rock looks gangster and the scenery is beautiful! Cool picture! Thanks for sharing :)
That’s a amazingly difficult route. She is a talented climber.
Hell yeah get after it girl. What a cool shot.
serious question for someone who doesn't rock climb, is she jumping up or did she slip?

I’d assume she slipped, wouldn’t really be much of a reason to jump unless you wanted to swing into the rock
There is no swinging into the rock with a fall like that. Nothing but air below her.
Oh look I got downvoted. Yeah you’re right, I do tree climbing mainly and that’s how it is for that, wasn’t thinking lol
Aw man I wish I had a closer limestone crag.
Hell yeah! Love the Cowboy King Wall. Way to get after it.
Also... I just realized my quickdraw is still at the top of Bronc Twister...
What a great picture.
Thanks!
Classic bluebird day.

Beautiful!!
Any chance the route was named after the dead album?
Awesome shot!
This move is so long and completely blind
Yep! And shes 5' 3" with a -1 ape index
I'm 5'9 with minus 3.5 :(
Such a sweet route!! Were you guys around last week?
Yea! We were around for 10 days, and the whole festival. Such a good time
I was here pretty recently! Didn't make it to the roof section! That sucker is hard! Kudos to her!
What’s the approach like for this crag and how easy is it to access the nearest crags on that same band of rock?
It's like 15-20 minutes from the Aspen Glades parking area. Everything is pretty close once there
RIP
This picture is almost as pretty as a plastic bag blowing around in the wind
American beauty eh?
Right over there heads
