About
Giant Steps is a rock climbing route located near Silverton, Colorado, at an elevation of 10,936 feet. It is rated as moderate difficulty. The route features a big southern exposure, which affects conditions; it can be baked in summer or covered in snow early in the season. Access requires hiking up the hill, higher than the top of Stairway to Heaven, to reach the climb. Parking is available on site, and the site is pet-friendly. Climbers should go early season for fresh ice or be prepared for varying conditions. The descent involves a double 60-meter rappel from a v-thread in the last ice section.
