Scramble up 30 feet of slab, easily avoiding loose rock and dirt.

Clip the first bolt with a long sling to minimize rope drag above, or unclip it after clipping bolt 2. Undercling over the roof to an easy slab. Scamper up to a small headwall, then use small crimps and the occasional invisible foothold to establish yourself below the upper roof. A series of sidepulls, layaways, and gastons will get you up to and past parallel cracks to a final struggle pulling over the top.

Noto Bene:

for all I know, the cracks may be 5.8 if you jam them. It didn't occur to me!

The Dream Variation

G'Owen Rogue

Prowler rides the blunt buttress of black schist that forms the left edge of the cresting wave of Twitch Rock.  With athletic, gym-style slaps between large slopers, prolific shade, and a trivial approach, this line has the potential to become the most popular 5.14 in Clear Creek Canyon.  The route lacks the fingery crimps or stopper cruxes of many of the canyon's other hard lines, making this a great choice for a first 5.14 project.  While the rock quality is not ideal, the line boasts sneaky good position, movement, and continuity--Clear Creek Power Endurance at its finest.

Big jugs lead to a good ledge below the third bolt.  The hardest single move is a long reach to an incut, 1-pad edge at the fourth bolt, but the redpoint crux is linking the ensuing string of 10-or-so consecutive slaps and hooking moves to turn the lip of the curling wave.

Twitch is a fantastic line with hard moves on great rock.  The route on the left (middle section of the wall) is Twitch.  This is a very thin and powerful route that is in your face early on.  An intricate crux sequence leads you through ultra thin fingers to a final deadpoint.  Close attention to balance and power will see you through this overhung challenge. Finish on easy rock to the anchors.

.  It is easiest to clean following on TR.

Yeah!  There's finally a warm-up for

Twitch

!  It is actually a really fun route with cool moves and a chance to get the blood flowing.

It has fun stemming with a technical stem crux before the third bolt.  The anchors can be clipped from the slopers on top of the pillar on the left, it's a reachy clip, but the anchors have long slings on them.
