Major Tom Milne

About

Major Tom Milne is a single 75-foot trad route located on the Grand Mesa in Grand Junction, Colorado. The route begins in a left-facing corner that transitions into a right-facing corner, requiring climbers to navigate through finger to cupped-hand widths. It is rated as moderate difficulty. The climb was first ascended by Kevin Dunkak and Mike Milne in 1999. Parking is available at the site, and pets are permitted. The climbing area sits at an elevation of approximately 10,000 to 10,476 feet. Access is possible year-round. The rock is volcanic basalt, which is noted for being highly fractured, though this specific route utilizes the featured walls created by thick basalt layers.
