About
Believe It is a difficult rock climbing route located in Rifle Mountain Park, near Rifle, Colorado. The site sits at an elevation of approximately 5,654 feet. The climbing features limestone from the Leadville formation, characterized by pocket and tufa-riddled stone that is often described as soft or glassy. Routes here are typically long, complex endurance climbs on large, flat holds, pockets, and crimps. The area is known for having a high concentration of 5.12 and up grades, with fewer moderate options due to silt and moss covering lower-angled rock faces. Access is available year-round, though the area sees significant traffic on weekends from May through September. Parking is available on-site, and pets are permitted. Climbers should expect to spend around four hours on routes. The rock quality varies, with some areas offering blocky cave climbing and others featuring smooth pockets.
