About

Goofy Foot is a difficult rock climbing area located in Rifle Mountain Park, Western Colorado, near the town of Rifle. Situated at an elevation of 5,803 feet, the site is part of a narrow canyon cut by East Rifle Creek. The climbing consists of sport routes on limestone, characterized by varied terrain that ranges from slightly overhanging to very overhanging. The rock features large, flat holds, pockets, crimps, and funky pinches. Access is available year-round, and the area provides parking and is pet friendly. Climbers should expect challenging conditions due to the specific nature of the limestone, which can be glassy on older routes. The estimated duration for a visit is around 4 hours.
