About
Marital Bliss is a 48.77-meter aid climbing route located on Jolly Tower within Colorado National Monument, near Grand Junction, Colorado. The route grades 5.6 A2 and was established by Jesse Harvey and Pat Goodman. Jolly Tower is described as a free-standing pinnacle situated approximately 800 feet west of Liberty Cap. The ascent of the tower itself is noted as 160 feet, suggesting the route may involve multiple pitches or a specific section of the tower rather than the entire structure in a single continuous aid line, though the route length is explicitly cited as 48.77 meters. The area offers parking and is pet-friendly. The rock composition includes sandstone, limestone, and shale. Climbers should be prepared for aid climbing techniques, as indicated by the A2 grade.
