Description Suggest change

This has sport climbing, some shade, and some sun depending on the wall.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive up Old Stage Road to a parking area with a bulletin board on the right (4.6 miles). Walk up the road about 100 meters and the trail is on your right by a drainage ditch (approx. 38.7465685, -104.8916208). You'll head up the trail 150 meters or so past 3 dirt jumps [per Ryan Walsh: on the right side there will be a cairn and some logs pointing over the ridge. Follow that past a stone firepit, and pick up the trail on the other side of the ridge. Go down the other side across a river and] zigzag northwest up the hillside following the cairns (some are hard to see). You'll come to a steep drainage, scramble up and you'll see the first wall on your right. The approach should take about 20 minutes.
