Description Suggest change

Beautiful bouldering area that sees little traffic these days. Was once a highly used practice area for local climbers, and (at least) once hosted a big bouldering contest back in '88. Perfect splitters, and crystal face climbs. Bring tape. Most of these problems were done long ago by local hardmen. If you know the proper names to the routes, or the First Senders, please post it.

Getting There Suggest change

Head North from Woodland Park until you reach Rampart Range Road. Continue N. past the turnoff to Rampart Reservoir about a quarter mile. Look for a large disk/flake on your left and park next to it along the road, or use a single car pullout just South of it. Follow a trail 50 yards uphill to the left to reach the corridor. They are the very obvious boulders on the hill above you to the West. The long boulder to your right is Corridor Boulder, and it has two good hands cracks, a finger traverse, and other face climbs. The first boulder to your left is Gargoyle Boulder.

Per Andrew O'Rourke: as someone new to the area, I had trouble following the given directions to The Corridor itself. I parked at the spot adjacent to the Pike NF signs at GPS coordinates 39.021531, -105.019857. There is a large, disc-shaped rock across from it and several obvious trails, but I never made it to the crag following them. The GPS pin wasn't helpful either; it's either too general or it's off due to rounding. I eventually followed a trail at 39.020983, -105.0169136 up to The Corridor. I don't know if that's what's intended, because it's a quarter of a mile away from where I parked, but the rocks were very obvious from it. I didn't see anywhere else to park, at least nothing big enough to fit an SUV. They're great boulders for just about anyone, but I feel like the directions are too vague given how many trails and other rock formations there are on that hill.

There's also a couple of homeless men living a little bit beyond The Corridor right now. I mean in no way to perpetuate the stigmas of homelessness, and they seemed to be keeping to themselves, but I figured that other climbers should at least know about it.
