Access Issue: Larimer County DNR Regulations Details

There is no legal hiking, bouldering or climbing in Horsetooth Reservoir Park "except in designated areas." See the 2024 Regulations here: online.flippingbook.com/vie…

Description

This route is on the northmost buttress, just before the private property sign. The North Buttress is the middle of three routes (with anchors/chains) on this wall.

Location

It is 15 yards south of the property line.

Protection

A 2 bolt anchor with chains, accessible from the top. Face climb up the lest side of the buttress. A standard rack will get you up this somewhat improbable lead. The initial moves to & over the roof are difficult to protect, however the climbing isn't too daunting. A quality route!
