About

Hideout Crack is a trad climbing route located in The Hideout, a rock wall near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The route is rated 5.8 and measures approximately 22.86 meters. It is situated in a moderate difficulty category. The climbing area sits at an elevation of 6,264 feet. Access involves navigating to a wall tucked in the trees beneath an old water flume, just downstream of a concrete spillway where water meets No Name Creek. Climbers can approach via three methods: descending a chimney between the rock and concrete to a 2-bolt anchor and rappelling, crossing below the spillway if water levels allow, or hiking below the slab from the bottom. Parking is available on-site, and the area is pet-friendly. The route is suitable for year-round climbing, with prime seasons from January through December.
