Access Issue: Road closure and reopened after flood damage! Details

Per Steven Armijo: Cheyenne Canyon Road is closed until May 2022 for bridge repairs. Only hiking and biking trail access is allowed into the canyon.

Per Stewart M. Green: the North Cheyenne Canyon was reopened after the floods of 2015.

Per Stewart M. Green: ATTENTION!! The Colorado Springs Parks Department has CLOSED ALL CITY PARKS, including Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and North Cheyenne Canon, to rock climbing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.

This is due to record rainfall totals in western Colorado Springs which as caused severe trail and parking lot damage, saturated the sandstone cliffs, and is causing parts of cliffs to break off.

The parks will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine how the closure will last.

Please respect the closures and take care of our precious climbing areas!

Description

This wall is chossy, but has some cool movement, and it overhangs a bit.

FLY CAVE WALL PROBLEMS:

1. CHOSS ATTACK - definitely chossy, follow a crack and lie-back feature on the left side of the wall to a jug at 15 feet, not that good

2. TOUGH COOKIES - sit-down start at the left side of the cave, then climb up and slightly left through the main overhang to finish on a good jug at the base of the slab

3. CAVE 101 - sit-down start at the left side of the cave, then traverse the lip of the cave up and right until you reach a mossy ledge at 15 feet, very cool

Getting There

From the park entrance, drive 2.0 miles and park in a large dirt turnout on the north (right) side of the road. Cross the creek to the south, and walk 30 feet to a slightly overhanging wall with a four foot high cave on its lower right-hand side. This is Fly Cave Wall.
