Description
This beautiful, south-facing sport wall in the San Luis Valley features steep routes that are ~80 feet long.
The routes are still cleaning up - helmets and mindful belay locations are recommended (don't stand directly under the climber).
Raptors & red-tail hawks nest here late spring through early summer. We've seen remnants of violent & aggressive projectile raptor poos all over the base of the cliff towards the end of raptor closures. Please avoid this crag during raptor season. The closure is generally from mid-May through mid-July.
Getting There
High clearance is recommended but not necessary.
From County Road 15, turn north onto FS 665. The 665 is unmarked, and the turn will sneak up on you. If coming from the east, look for the left turn after a stop sign on your left.
Drive 3 miles, and veer left to stay on FS 665. Drive another 2.5 miles on the road, and the wall will be on your right.
