Description
This is the main crag of the Deville area. It is a nice little 400' buttress that is oddly detached from the main cliff. There are nice 5.7 to 5.11 lines on the face. Some lines are more lichen-covered than others. Nonetheless, this is a fun place to be, especially with the cool crisp fall days of Colorado. The walkoff involves dropping down between the main cliff and the front face and then moving right to the 2nd to 3rd class terrain.
Getting There
Hike up the switchbacked trail behind the Cheley Camp. At around the 7th or 9th switchback, you angle up and right to the base of the cliff. Count on about 20 minutes. The brief hike can be wonderful on cool mornings or days.
[Hide Comment] Several large, natural rock fall events have recently occurred on Deville 3. Be cautious and aware the the nature of the routes may have significantly changed.

[Hide Comment] Hey Buster, Thanks for the note about the rockfall. Any idea which aspects of the formation (route areas) the rockfall occurred on? Cheers.
