Mountain Project: Climbing South Platte

Go down 126 until you reach Deckers. Keep going for a long way until 126 meets CO 67, and keep south on CO 67, turn right on 68 going to Westcreek, and take a right on Stump Road. The first formation you will see is Sheeps Nose on the right, and is a big dome looking formation (has nice boulder problems on approach!).
