About

Classic Roof Problem is a 50-foot trad climbing route situated on the main wall at Society Turn in Telluride, Colorado. The route is rated 5.11+ and is classified as difficult. It begins at the base of the Yara River Eliminate boulder problem and ascends to a single bolt located 20 to 25 feet up. Climbers navigate through several sets of overhangs before making a pumpy traverse to the right. The climb features a horizontal section where gear can be placed, followed by a bouldery move to pull the final lip. While commonly climbed as a top-rope, it serves as a short lead climb. Protection consists of one bolt halfway up and additional gear placements along the route. The site offers parking and is pet-friendly.
