About

Feeling Loopy is a trad climbing route located in the Monastery area of Rocky Mountain National Park, near Estes Park. The route is a 100-foot (30-meter) left-leaning corner climb that leads up a slab and through overlaps to a large roof. The crux involves jamming across the roof and exiting to the right side into a moderate hand crack. The climbing below the roof is described as sustained and fun. The route was first ascended by M. Carnes and Matt Coffman. Protection consists of a standard rack and a bolted anchor. Access has been open since 2023, following a period of closure due to the Cameron Peak Fire and dead tree clearance efforts on Storm Mountain Road. There is no on-site signage or specific USFS information available for this exact spot. The route is rated 5.11.
