About

Dirty Martini is a traditional rock climbing route located near Grand Junction on the Western Slope of Colorado. The climb features loose rock leading through a small sandy roof to a dihedral, ending at a bolted anchor. The route is approximately 60 feet long and requires protection using single sets of fingers through wide hands, with additional tight handholds and off-finger sizes. A plaque marks the area near a block between Short Cupped Hands and Flapper. The site is classified as difficult, making it suitable for experienced climbers. It has an elevation of 4,597 feet and is accessible year-round from January through December. Parking is available on site, and the area allows pets. The location supports traditional climbing styles, with options for sport and bouldering found in the broader Grand Junction area. Local resources include Summit Canyon Mountaineering downtown and REI east of town for gear and beta. The Western Colorado Climbers' Coalition provides updates on access and bolting rules.
