About

Mammoth Hunters is a rock climbing area near Palisade, Colorado, on the Western Slope. The database lists the difficulty as easy and the elevation at 4,744 feet, though the existing description and search results cite an elevation of 7,409 feet. Parking is available, and pets are allowed. The area is accessible year-round. Evidence from Mountain Project identifies specific climbing features, including a trad route that is 50 feet long with a top-rope option off two bolts. The route involves climbing a wall left of a wide crack on the right center face. Protection is described as somewhat inconsistent. The area has experienced access issues related to the Cameron Peak Fire, with some closures on Storm Mountain Road, but reports indicate the area has been open since 2023. Climbers should verify current access conditions.
