Striped Rock

Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Nine Mile Hill > Nine Mile Bould… > Rock Garden Boulder Area

Description

Striped Rock should definitely satisfy your vertical bouldering needs as problems range from VEasy to V7. As a bonus, the north face allows for good shade throughout most of the afternoon.

There is a good downclimb on the southwest corner of the boulder.

Getting There

From the parking area, follow the dirt road well beyond the main area, and it'll be just off of road left. A leisure walking pace would take about ten minutes to reach it.

[Hide Comment] I have a guidebook that shows an unnamed, V7 problem which ascends the center, north face of Striped Rock. After many attempts and failures to climb it, I'm curious if anyone has any beta or information on it. Jan 22, 2014
