Set along the striking cliffs of North Table Mountain near Golden, Colorado, Let's Wake Up Ronnie and Barb offers a concise but rewarding trad climb that blends straightforward crack climbing with an approachable challenge. The route starts with a welcoming right-side crack on a prominent arete, immediately inviting climbers to test hand jams and finger locks without wrestling major technical difficulties. Large holds, often described as generous jugs, provide consistent resting points and reduce the overall strain, making the line accessible for those hovering around the 5.9- difficulty. As you ascend, the crack guides you steadily toward a ledge situated below the distinct final headwall known from the nearby Henry Spies the Line route. Here, the route splits with several options: the most direct involves clipping a bolt guarding the last moves up to the anchor, a move that adds a touch of sport-style security to an otherwise pure trad experience. For purists wishing to avoid clipping, the headwall’s flanks offer alternative paths to reach the top, though these detours are less defined and reward route-finding skills.

Protection is straightforward with a standard trad rack handling the crack system effortlessly, and the climb concludes at a solid two-bolt anchor. This makes for an efficient top-rope setup or a clean top-out. The cliff faces north, making it ideal for warm-weather climbs as it stays cooler through the midday sun, and the approach is brief and manageable for climbers eager to maximize climbing time over hiking.

Despite the modest star rating and single pitch length, the route carries an understated appeal—its clear line, solid protection, and manageable challenge invite climbers into a classic Colorado trad experience without the intimidation factor. The rock is sound, and the setting— perched above Golden with views opening towards Table Mountain’s rugged edges—creates an engaging atmosphere. Whether you’re gearing up for a quick after-work climb or rounding out a day in the area’s striking cliffs, Let’s Wake Up Ronnie and Barb offers a no-nonsense, enjoyable option with ample room for learning crack techniques and adventure in a supportive environment.
