Description

This is the back side of Bird Rock. It has amazing steep walls with generally all day shade.

Routes here are steep and on rather perfect stone for the South Platte. Some of the better rock around!

Getting There

Hike around to the back side, which involves lots of boulder hopping. It is a great spot to get away from the summer heat.
