About

Karma is a bouldering problem located within the Million Dollar Boulder area in Telluride, Colorado. Situated at an elevation of approximately 9,000 feet, the climb features a large, slightly overhanging wall set within a gully. The rock quality is described as superior to the surrounding conglomerate, offering sharp edges, crimps, and sidepulls rather than the pocket-heavy holds found elsewhere in the Mine Boulders. The problem ranges from 15 to 20 feet tall and is generally rated V3 to V4 (6A+). Access involves hiking back from the entrance boulders, moving past other formations up and to the right into a small grotto. The area is pet-friendly, offers parking, and provides moderate difficulty suitable for climbers with some experience. Climbing conditions are available year-round, though the prime season spans from January through December.
