Access Issue: Private Property issues Details

The West Bank / Wild West / Secret Crag has been problematic for years due to access concerns. There have been negative encounters with gun-toting landowners who have alleged that the entire mountain is on private property. Typical approaches involve brief crossing of railroad property which appears to be prohibited.

Exact demarcation of property boundaries are not always clear. When in doubt, be discrete or polite.

Do not park your vehicle near the railroad tracks near Plainview. It is a well-known irritant to Plainview residents.

Description

Steep initial climbing leads to a pumpy and fun traverse across heucos and a strenous and tricky crux. There are at least two ways of doing the crux. The obvious way is harder. If you're taller it may help across the traverse, because you can stretch down for some occasional footholds.

This is a pretty spectacular pitch, and good photos can be taken from higher up the ramp.

Apparently L.O.O.P. stands for League of Outdoor Pursuits. The FA may have been done by Alvino Pon. In the Rossiter Eldo guide, Rossiter says that the info for this area came from Alvino via an article in Rock and Ice #54. Alvino is responsible for many climbs in St Vrain Canyon.

Location

This is the second route from the right at the Garden of Stone area. From R.N.R. (the rightmost route) and the meadow scramble about 30' up the slab to a flat area at the base of a steep red wall.
