About

German on 2nd is a rock climbing area located on Grand Mesa, near Grand Junction, Colorado. The site sits at an elevation of 10,185 feet. The rock is volcanic basalt, which is typically highly fractured, though thicker flow events can create steep walls with good rock quality. Routes here are rated moderate difficulty. Parking is available on-site, and pets are allowed. Access is easiest from Grand Junction via CO Highway 65 or US Highway 50 to the Land's End Area. Climbers should be aware that the area is subject to seasonal closures, such as the 2025 closure due to peregrine falcons.
