About

Brought to you by the letter V is a short, easy sport climbing route located in Puoux, Glenwood Springs. The area sits on the north wall of Glenwood Canyon, near the Interstate 70 corridor. The route is rated 5.5 YDS and features a 20-foot climb on a tall, pointy boulder in the center of an amphitheater. The rock is water-sculpted limestone with friendly edges, making it suitable for beginners and large groups. The crux lies between the first and second bolts, requiring a stem out between a ledge and a sharp left foothold. Parking is available at the site. The area is pet friendly. Access requires a completed waiver submitted to the property manager, Ken Headrick, via email. Climbers do not need to schedule a specific time or day for access. The route is open year-round.
