About

My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Momma is a rock climbing area within Rifle Mountain Park, specifically located in the G3 sector on the west side of the canyon. The site is characterized by left-facing stems and laybacks on pocketed, tufa-riddled stone. It sits at an elevation of approximately 5,486 feet, though some sources list the broader G3 area elevation higher; the specific route description places it in the difficult climbing category. Access is via the Feline parking lot, which accommodates about eight vehicles and requires head-in parking. Climbers must hike downstream from the lot to reach the trail leading to the wall. The area receives afternoon sun and morning shade. Parking is available on-site, and pets are permitted. There is no confirmed information regarding water sources at this specific spot or seasonal closures beyond general winter cold and spring seepage conditions for the broader area.
