About

Baby Jesus is a sport climbing route located on the Project Wall in Rifle Mountain Park, Rifle, Colorado. The route is graded 5.12b and sits at an elevation of 5,860 feet. It is characterized by a long, sustained climb that requires endurance and often multiple sessions to complete. Climbers describe the texture as dirty and chossy, which is typical for newer routes in the area. The climbing style is noted as choppy rather than flowing, though this has not prevented recent ascents. The route has been redpointed and onsighted by climbers, with a small number of logged sends. Parking is available at the site, and dogs are permitted on the route.
