Better than Streaking offers a compact yet rewarding trad climb tucked into the Upper Wall of Clear Creek Canyon, where a single pitch unfolds across a 50-foot left-facing dihedral. The moment you step onto the rock, the climb asks for a mind focused on observation and strategy. The opening sequence challenges you with a subtle traverse left beneath a small roof, demanding careful footwork and a sharp eye to spot the most efficient path through a cluster of promising holds. This technical start sets the tone for the rest of the route, where solid protection placements ease both your grip and confidence as you ascend. The rock’s texture and features invite a steady pace; fun moves reward patience and deliberate positioning rather than brute strength. Protection is straightforward for those familiar with placing cams, relying on a standard rack up to a #2 Camalot, with a reliable gear anchor waiting at the top to secure your descent or to transition to a next pitch if desired. The approach to Better than Streaking is approachable and brief, setting the stage without excessive trail wear or bushwhacking. Situated within Real Hidden Valley, the route is part of a quieter pocket of Clear Creek Canyon that draws climbers seeking thoughtful trad routes away from busier sectors, offering the calming hum of the canyon’s natural sounds and scattered rays of sunlight filtering through rocky outcrops. This climb sits near Golden, Colorado, providing climbers a taste of mountain air paired with accessible wilderness. Better than Streaking’s 5.8- rating offers a welcoming challenge that feels fair yet engaging, especially for trad climbers stepping up their crack climbing skills without facing overwhelming difficulty. The route rewards curiosity with well-earned moves and clean protection opportunities, making it an excellent pick for an afternoon dedicated to refining skill amid Colorado's rugged terrain.
