Access Issue: DO NOT CLIMB HERE! It is located on the US AFA Details

DO NOT CLIMB HERE!

Per Finn W: this area is located directly behind the USAFA Firing Range, and access is prohibited at all times. Climbing in this area is extremely dangerous.

Description

Climb and stem the east-facing chimney to a hand crack 15 feet below the summit. Then make an airy step over to one side of the chimney, and top out (climber's right). There is no anchor on the true summit.

The rap station is 10 feet below!
