Description Suggest change

This is an organizational entry to facilitate additional information on this cliff.

There are at least 40 routes here on this granitic crag. The development started in the 1970s.

Allen Hill, Greg Lomme, and Chuck Grossman are some of the original pioneers for this area. Apparently, subsequently, the area became part of the Denver Mountain Parks system and thus was effectively closed to climbing. Bummer!

Routes here included Weebles Wobble, 9+; Half-Nazi, 6; Groove, 7; Groover Control, 9; Birth Control (sp?), 6; Mitten Direct, 10; Doggie, 8; Weebles Wiggle, 10. Also there are Estrogen Cracks, 6; Cerebral Fluid, 7; Cheeses of Nazareth, 11; Electroshock Therapy, 9; Barakiner Exsurprise, 10.

Getting There Suggest change

This is near CO 73 & North Turkey Creek Rd. south of Evergreen. From Denver, head west on US 285, go north on N. Turkey Creek. Then, just dream of the potential enjoyment of the public land here...and quietly walk away. Per Jeremy Hakes: the area can be easily accessed by an easement immediately north of the Marshdale Elementary school. Locals use the area for hiking extensively.

Per curt86iroc: following signage posted by Denver Mountain Parks, climbing is no longer allowed at Ocelot. 

Regulations

Suggest change

Per Jeremy Hakes: this is Denver Mountain Park property and therefore climbing is punishable by a $999 fine or 6 months in jail.

Per David Bruning: current DMP signage and online information does not indicate this area is closed to climbing.

Check for yourself if considering climbing here.
