About

Hawaiian Two-Foot, also called Hawaiian Tufa, is a 90-foot sport climb on the Hawaiian Wall in Rifle Mountain Park, Rifle, Colorado. The route is rated 5.13a and is described as a slab climb with a crux on slightly overhanging rock. It is located on the sunny wall just downcanyon from Skull Cave. Access requires scrambling up to a ledge system above the scree field, left of the parking area. Climbers can belay from a lower, bigger ledge without an anchor or scramble higher to belay off the first bolt. The climb requires 10-12 draws and a 60-meter rope. The route is noted as good for cold days because success depends on sticking feet in small dishes. First ascent was by Don Welsh.
