Sculpted against the rugged backdrop of Clear Creek Canyon, Everything Rhymes with Orange challenges climbers with its dynamic sequence that blends technical finesse and bold movement. From the moment your fingers brush the rock just before the first bolt, you'll feel the tension — a sequence of delicate moves testing your balance and precision. The climb then eases into a sustained 5.8 slab, where controlled footwork and steady breathing keep you solid as you rise toward the roof feature. Here, the route demands attention to detail: lunging for jugs above the overhang, trusting your foot placement on the lip while reaching leftward to clip the final bolt before the anchor. These entry and exit cruxes push the difficulty up to a firm 5.9, making this line a rewarding test for climbers comfortable with slab and sport climbing alike.

Stretching 85 feet with a single pitch, the route's clean lines and modern bolt spacing invite a smooth, confident ascent. The rock, typical of Colorado’s Clear Creek sandstone, offers a blend of texture that encourages precise smearing and edging. Climbers should prepare for an approach that weaves through the canyon’s mixed terrain, transitioning from pine-shadowed trails to open granite slabs with sweeping views of the valley below.

Timing your climb during morning or late afternoon hours is ideal: the wall faces east, welcoming sun as the day warms up but offering respite under shaded rock during the hotter summer midday. The area sees moderate foot traffic, and the site's proximity to Golden means gear checks and supply stops happen easily before and after your climb.

Protection consists of eight well-placed bolts, spaced to encourage clean clipping without sacrificing safety, leading to a tidy two-bolt anchor with quicklinks. While the protection is straightforward, climbers should stay attentive on the slab sections—foot placements can slip, and the subtle crux moves reward thoughtful beta and body positioning.

Clear Creek Canyon is a climbing hub with a mix of sport and traditional lines tucked within steep walls and open ledges. Its accessibility and variety make it a favored weekend destination. The natural environment is both raw and inviting: trees rustle overhead, and the creek's murmurs add a constant rhythm to the day’s push upward. This climb balances bite with accessibility, giving climbers a memorable outing that sharpens movement skills while offering a taste of Colorado’s climbing character.
