About
Northeast Arete is a moderate rock climbing route located near Glenwood Springs on the Western Slope of Colorado. The climb begins at an elevation of 5,200 feet and typically takes around four hours to complete. The route is accessible year-round from January through December, though climbers should prepare for varying weather conditions and potential snow or ice during winter months. Parking is available in a designated area, and the site allows pets. The climbing surface offers good edges leading to a short crux before reaching an anchor, with protection provided by three bolts. The route ascends the obvious northeast arête on Big Lonesome Boulder, featuring sport climbing sections that are approximately 45 feet in length. Climbers of moderate skill levels will find the experience challenging yet rewarding.
