Manifest offers an engaging single-pitch sport climb that challenges your technical skills on the left side of Show Nuff Wall, tucked within Clear Creek Canyon near Golden, Colorado. This route begins with a bold ascent up a prominent flake, demanding precise body control as you pull over a roof section. The immediate transition into a steep slab brings a change of pace, requiring finesse and balance on smaller holds. As you progress higher, the difficulty eases, allowing a steady finish above the slab to the anchor.

The 50-foot route is framed by Clear Creek Canyon’s rugged walls, where the crisp mountain air carries the subtle sounds of the creek below, daring you forward with every move. The granite here is solid but textured, inviting careful footwork on the slab section.

Protection comes via five well-spaced bolts, supplemented by a single small cam placement (#0.75) and locking carabiners at the anchors. This blend of fixed hardware and minimal gear keeps the route’s feel sport-oriented while encouraging some smart gear management. Climbers should prepare for a technically demanding sequence right after the roof, emphasizing smooth movement and spot-on foot placements.

Approach is straightforward from the Clear Creek Canyon trail system, with a short walk that climbs gently to Show Nuff Wall’s base. The area often basks in morning sun, making early starts pleasant, while afternoon shade brings cool relief in summer's heat. The route’s west-facing aspect also means late afternoon climbing in cooler seasons is comfortable.

For those packing a light rack, include a #0.75 cam to supplement the fixed bolts, though the majority of protection relies on the bolts themselves. Shoes with sticky rubber and sensitive edging capability will aid the slab section, where small smears and subtle edges govern upward progress.

Local climbers advise checking for loose rock around the roof lip before starting, and wearing a helmet is recommended given the nature of the terrain above. The descent involves a standard rappel from the anchor, with firm attention needed on rope management due to the steepness above the anchor.

Whether you’re brushing up sport crimp technique or adding a relatively short but spirited route to your portfolio, Manifest blends technical demands with an accessible single-pitch challenge, all set within the vibrant outdoor climbing scene of Clear Creek Canyon.
