About
Behind the Curtain is a 350-foot, three-pitch trad climb on Grizzly Creek Wall in Glenwood Canyon, located near Glenwood Springs. The route sits 20 feet right of the Horse and Pony Show route, marked by a bolt 15 feet up. The climb features mixed terrain with overhanging sections and steep cruxes, rated difficult with pitches ranging from 5.10 to 5.12b. Protection relies on gear such as green Aliens and Friends rather than bolts, with belays anchored by bolts on spacious ledges. The area offers parking and is pet friendly. Climbers should bring two 60m ropes for rappelling.
