A 5.8 you know well, Ed: the Chockstone Chimney, 10-star adventure 5.8. One I'll go back to.
Only complication is the descent, which was a bit sketchy.

^^^that's a good one,
I thought I had film in my camera (yes, it was that long ago) and didn't get any images on film that wasn't there... but there are images indelibly etched in my memory

Modern Times Direct, )
Goes up the right side edge & center
of the very large stacked flake,(crux, harder than .8?)
then after the original crux, the break in the roof
at the right hand corner,
finishes up the slab thru the cap stone,
the black line
I ask'd Dana Bartlett, to go do it & give it a grade
The green line is Modern Times, 5.8

Some of my favorite Red Rock 5.8 classics. Fond memories now that we moved back to Kansas for family.

Dogfather! Yes to those mega classic Red Rocks 5.8s. Loved Frogland and Dark Shadows. Maybe Frogland a little more. Such a wonderful route.
'onyourleft' definite love for Walk on the Wild Side, solid runouts and the great exposed downclimb/walkoff.
I once took a 6 foot 10 new climber on Walk... and he was so freaked out, he was a super athletic guy, who high-jumped over 7 feet and played college hoops. He did fine on it as I recall. The exposure was a lot for him. Not sure he ever climbed again. It was a stout first climb.
Anyone mention the standard route on Clyde Minaret yet? There's a great 5.8 in a fantastic setting.

Photo of the upper half of the Vinatzer (Third Sella) taken from the Demetz (Second Sella). You can just make out a team about 2/3rds the way up the right-leaning crack system left of center. 5.8
