Goin' Down to Aspen With My Platinum Card in My Chanel Clutch

About

Goin' Down to Aspen With My Platinum Card in My Chanel Clutch is a rock climbing route located at Reese's Pieces, near Independence Pass and Lincoln Creek in Aspen, Colorado. The spot sits at an elevation of 8,298 feet and is classified as difficult with a grade of 5.11b YDS. It is a traditional climbing route, meaning climbers place their own protection rather than relying solely on bolts. The wall is 50 feet (15 meters) tall. The route begins on the left side of the Reese's Pieces area. Climbers ascend a face section that includes cruxes and bolted protection, then move into a double crack system to reach a ledge. From there, the path moves right across another ledge before reaching the top. The first ascent was completed by Reese Martin and Charlotte Fox in 2003. Access is straightforward with parking available at the site. The location is pet friendly, allowing dogs on the climb. Aspen offers year-round outdoor activity, so climbing is possible in all seasons, though local conditions may vary. The area provides views and a degree of seclusion from the main town, which is known for its ski resorts and upscale amenities. This route is considered one of the best options at Reese's Pieces due to its technical interest and straightforward top-out.
