Description

ATTENTION: Parking at Donation Rocks is at the two pull-offs only (see the poster on the main page photos). NO PARKING is permitted anywhere else along the road.

This area is currently being developed and is left and uphill from Damnation Wall. It’s a relatively small and low block of rock but worth checking out. At the far left end is a set of anchors at the top and allow for working the three current routes of Triple Crow on top rope. The face has two glue-in anchors at the top but are a bit hidden. Follow the new trail to the face top. Look over the top to a small ledge below. The anchors are there. Please climb here. Looking forward to your route ideas.

Getting There

Just continue up and left of the Upper Wall. Stay left of the wall you will see in about 50 feet in front of you.

Bat Conservation | How You Can Help

See a Bat on a Route, Give Us a Shout!

Hey climbers, Ken Hull here with Access Fund, South Central PA Climbers, and your Ambassador here at Donation Rocks. I’m working with Rob Schorr at Colorado State University to help him spread the word about his bat research. Here’s a message from him about this important work and how, we as climbers, can help.

"Climbers for Bat Conservation is working with climbers to understand bat ecology and why bats choose certain cracks and flakes. We’re a collaboration between climbers, bat biologists, and land managers to understand where bats roost and where large populations may reside. We are interested in finding bats because of a new disease called white-nose syndrome (whitenosesyndrome.org) which has killed millions of bats in North America. This collaboration has identified bat roosts throughout the U.S., and as far away as Norway and Bulgaria. CBC was developed by biologists who climb and they are advocates for climbing access and bat conservation.

So, if you see bats while climbing, please let us know by emailing us at climbersforbats@colostate.edu, or visiting our website to learn more. climbersforbats.colostate.edu."

Thank You!
