Character
All climbs are on the west side of the the canyon. That means a.m. sun with p.m. shade. This has Rifle easy to moderate climbing.
Conditions:
Winter: Cold.
Spring: Seeps but will dry out some with sun.
Summer: Sun until around 1p.m..
Fall: Like Summer, but not as hot.
There is now a Porta-potty at the Feline parking lot. Thank You, City of Rifle!
The Kopers trail runs right through this area and is a very popular hike with tourist and local residents.

- Yield to hikers on the trail.
- Abstain from foul language.

Thanks!!
Getting There
This small packed wall is located between The Potato Wall and The Chud Routes.
Drive into RMP and locate the Kopers / Ice Caves trail near The Wasteland parking lot just past the small bridge on the left and park here OR continue for 0.3 mile to the Middle Ice Caves parking lot on the left at the bend in the road.
There is room for about 8 cars here. Please park head in only.
Access:
There are two access points to this area:
#1 Middle Ice Caves parking lot.
Find the trail by the tree (looking at Feline) or the trail just to the left of the PARK STRAIGHT IN BETWEEN SIGNS ONLY SIGN , hike to the stream and walk across the crooked wooden planked bridge.
Hike downstream on the Kopers / Ice Cave trail towards the Potato routes.
Once you are at the sawed off tree (not a massive stump, smaller tree size) on the trail, you are at The Funny Face. Rickles, .7, is the route right at the sawed off tree and Borat is the very first route several feet (right) before Rickles.
#2 Kopers / Ice caves trail.
Take this well defined trail past the Ice cave routes and arrive at the Potato routes.
The first climb Costello is located about 40 feet past Do the Mashed Potato at the top of the rocky trailed small incline.
The best approach is #1 and routes are listed left to right:
Costello, .10d.
Carlin, .9.
Martin & Lewis, .9-.
Sellers, .9+.
Pryor, .9.
Rickles, .7.
Borat, .11a.
Woody, .11d
