About
Barnacle Buster is a 45-foot sport climbing route located near Durango, Colorado. The route features eight bolts and climbs a steep black face within a shallow corner. Climbers ascend through steep terrain to reach a hanging corner, where the difficulty increases due to barnacle-like holds. A stickclip is recommended for placing the first bolt. The route was first ascended by I. Altman, E. Poss, and P. Nasca. Parking is available, and pets are permitted. The area is accessible year-round.
