Description

This is a quarry visible at the north end of the Flatirons not too far above the Mesa Trail, south of the 3rd Flatiron. The rock is clean, quarried, 65 degree angle sandstone. There are some bolted slab routes to 100 feet here listed in Boulder Climbs North. The fixed gear is dated so consider Screamers or don't fall too far. This area is probably for those into the obscure hit list.

Getting There

Hike the Mesa Trail either North from NCAR or South from Chataqua to South of the 3rd Flatiron. [There is now a well-maintained trail to the quarry, marked with signs, leading right (northwest) as you approach from Chatauqua Park.]
