The parking lot off Hwy 41G used to be the established point of access to the main canyon, but it is now closed. On 5/31/2020, an access issue arose due to the lot being overcrowded with ~7 vehicles. Saguache County Sheriff was called by the landowners, and the climbers were asked to leave the canyon. Climbers should park at the Penitente Main Canyon and hike in, or park at the established BLM parking lot 1 mile West on 41G and hike the road.
The SLV Climbers Alliance, with support from the Access Fund, is navigating this access issue. Contact slvclimb.org for questions or status reports, or join the Facebook Group "San Luis Valley Climbers Alliance" for the latest updates.
Description
Start under the bulge, then move into the horizontal crack. Follow the crack around to the right, use the face some, and then move up left onto the bulge, finishing with moves up high on hollow grips.
Location
From the parking Rock Garden parking lot, follow the west side of the west cliff span, heading SW (or find your way from inside the canyon). Eventually find a small clearing in the cliffspan (listed as the "Fairie Grotto" by Phillip Benningfield in his Colorado Bouldering Mountains book). On the very NW side of the grotto's cliffpsan is the route/problem, facing southwest.
