About
Guilt Parade is a rock climbing area located in Rifle Mountain Park, just west of Denver off I-70 at exit 90. The site features difficult sport climbing routes on limestone, specifically noted for its challenging grades often reaching 5.12 and above. Located at an elevation of approximately 5,300 feet, the area offers parking and is pet friendly. Climbers typically spend around four hours on site completing their ascent. The routes are accessible year-round, though the broader Rifle Mountain Park area sees higher traffic on weekends from May through September. The climbing here is characterized by steep to very overhanging limestone walls with large, flat holds, pockets, and crimps.
