River Rats and Turtle Head: (5.7)
-River Rats and Turtle Head a best completed one after another. They both are rated 5.7, and are so close they could almost share the same top anchor. River Rats has 5 clips, and Turtle Head has 4 clips, and both have good jugs and fun dynamic moves. -These two are located on the Poudre Face and are the 12'th (River Rats) and 13'th (Turtle Head) routes from the left. To find them take the first right in the trail after crossing the river. Follow the trail up keeping the rock face of your left. (Mind you, you should be able to see the tunnel and Crystal Wall from every route on the Poudre Face.) After hiking up the access trail a ways there will be a large gap in bolted routes. Continue until the bolts resume. The first bolted route after the gap will be River Rats. |

Directions: Crystal Wall and The Palace are located exactly 15 miles from Ted's Place. So set your odometer, head west, and keep an eye out for the tunnel because the pull off parking is a few hundred yards after it on the right.
