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

Bad Blood has several variations: (1) the orange face climb (upper) and steep crack system (lower) on the Southeast-facing buttress 30 feet right (downhill) from Lightning Bolt Crack, (2) climb the dihedral (sometimes dirty from runoff), or (3) climb the right face (same start at Darth Aider), but traverse up and left into a small dihedral on excellent rock, then step up and left over the roof and into the main dihedral.

There is a 2 bolt anchor accessible from the top for setting up a TR.

Location

It ascends an orange, right-facing dihedral that is 20 feet left (uphill) from "the corners" area and 30 feet right (or downhill) from Lightning Bolt Crack.
