Description

Within the town of Steamboat Springs lies a little crag known as Butcher Knife.

This little gem might not be the most spectacular crag within Colorado, yet it serves as a well needed climbing area in Steamboat.

Getting There

The canyon lies near the middle school, it's fairly obvious. Walk through the canyon, and near the middle lies several cliffs.
