The line
Rifle's signature long-endurance wall climbing: grey limestone pockets that never quite end, on a slightly overhanging face where the feet are better than they look.
Beta, gear and approach
12 draws, 60 m rope. Rifle is a spring and autumn crag — summer is too hot and the canyon seeps. Closed to climbing in some years for nesting birds; check local access notes.
