Per [[201167197 Cheyenne Canyon Road was closed until May 2022 for bridge repairs. Only hiking and biking trail access was allowed into the canyon.
Per Stewart M. Green: the North Cheyenne Canyon was reopened after the floods of 2015.
Per Stewart M. Green: ATTENTION!! The Colorado Springs Parks Department has CLOSED ALL CITY PARKS, including Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and North Cheyenne Canon, to rock climbing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
This is due to record rainfall totals in western Colorado Springs which as caused severe trail and parking lot damage, saturated the sandstone cliffs, and is causing parts of cliffs to break off.
The parks will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine how the closure will last.
Please respect the closures and take care of our precious climbing areas!
Description
The West Face is the big face in front of the Pinnacle parking area. Approach as for the West Face rock. Pick a line and wander at will up to a tree just below the top of the face. Rappel off the tree or scramble over the top and descend as for the Pinnacle. Reportedly, this route has also been done as a winter mountaineering route. Begin by starting at the base of Crack Parallel or use the Creekside Wall as a start.
