Frosted Flake (Sit Start)

About

Frosted Flake (Sit Start) is a moderate rock climbing problem located in the Telluride area of Western Colorado. The route begins with a sit start, requiring climbers to initiate the ascent from a seated position on a slanted, horizontal rail. This specific starting technique demands strength and technical precision to clear the initial section before moving up and left using crimps and slopers. The climb is accessible year-round, with operations running from January through December, though winter conditions can influence difficulty and safety. The site offers convenient parking for vehicles and allows pets on the premises, making it a practical option for climbers visiting with dogs. The moderate difficulty rating suits individuals with some prior climbing experience who are looking for a committing but manageable challenge.
