Bear Creek Canon Park new routes

There are 4 new routes on Dakota Hogbacks west side. Bolting a loose fridge is not OK. Be careful out there, none of these routes are well trundled or safely bolted.

But it’s a glue-in! Must be bomber!

WTF who put a bolt in that???

Hey everyone, weve reached out to the party responsible and they said they will fix the situation. We will do a follow up as soon as possible.

Great to hear! 

Since this is the main beginner crag in Co springs I really hope they remove the extreme level of risk they've exposed.

Sorry Greg I suck at Links

Looks like a fun trundle. Bring a bottle jack?

The party whom developed the routes in concern was contacted and trundled large block this morning and inspected the route for any more suspect blocks. As a disclaimer, the PPCA is not involved in any way with new route development and we are not in any way credentialing the west side of hogback as safe. We are happy to act as intermediary between the public, land managers and route developers where appropriate and inspect routes and dislodge unsafe blocks on a case by case basis. Please feel free to reach out to us at pikespeakclimbersalliance@gmail.com or our website at pikespeakclimbersalliance.org.
