About

Bris Cutoff is a rock climbing route located near Montrose, Colorado, on the Western Slope. The route is classified as moderate difficulty and is situated at an elevation of 5,788 feet. It is accessible year-round and features available parking. The site is pet friendly. Evidence indicates the route is a variation of Bris Shortcut, described as a boulder problem or short climb rather than a long multi-pitch ascent. The existing description's claim of an 8,437-foot elevation and a 4-hour outing is contradicted by the database, which lists the elevation as 5,788 feet. The climbing involves specific technical features, including starting pockets and a tree landmark. Climbers should be aware of local fire conditions, as evacuation orders may be in effect during fire seasons.
