Access Issue: Road closure and reopened after flood damage! Details

Per Steven Armijo: Cheyenne Canyon Road is closed until May 2022 for bridge repairs. Only hiking and biking trail access is 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

This is a fantastic climb just right of The Army Route. It follows the line of bolts through two roofs to the anchor. It has two distinct crux sections around the roofs with an interesting rest at the first. This is definitely my favorite climb on The Pinnacle and features mostly solid rock.

Protection

8 bolts lead to 2 bolt anchor.

The PG-13 rating comes from the fact that you can't clip the bolts above the roof before you pull it and if you screw them up you'll smash into the slab below. That fact made me very good at not falling. Aug 30, 2009

The crux is definitely very low on the route, then it backs off. As of fall 2020, the old rusty bolts have been replaced with stainless glue-ins, and there are Mussy hooks at the anchor. Dec 18, 2020
