Bruce,
Sphinx Crack is still definitely a no trespassing zone. A few other areas in the S. Platte have lost access in recent years as well. For instance, Squat Rock was closed a few years ago. That was where I led my very first 5.9 traditional route.

A little more South Platte:
Scorpio Crack (5.10+). I think this thing is slightly overhanging the whole way (fingers and thin hands). Haven't made it there yet to climb it, though.

"Scorpio Crack" (5.10+) you say? Looks like a perfect hang-dog moan fest if you bring along enough cams to hang on. In any event, an athletic tour-de-force.
Thanks for posting. Thinking about a Colorado holiday this April. Where is "Scorpio" in the Platte exactly? Near Sphinx Park?

Where is "Scorpio" in the Platte exactly? Near Sphinx Park? Scorpio is outside of Woodland Park, off of Rampart Range Road. A little grainy but still classic. 5.10 fingers at the start and then hands to the top, slightly overhanging.
