About

Number 2 is a short sport climbing route located at Clay Creek in the Telluride area of Western Colorado. The climb is 35 feet high and features a technical stemming corner with tricky handholds near the top. The crux occurs 8 to 10 feet up and requires a power move. The route has four bolts leading to anchors, making it suitable for climbers who prefer bolted protection over traditional gear. First ascended by Chris Boskoff and Charlie Fowler, the route is situated next to another climb called Lucky Charms. The area offers parking and allows pets, though the general Clay Creek location is known for solid rock suitable for various climbing styles. Climbers should expect a quick ascent, with an estimated duration of around 4 hours for the broader area experience. The site is accessible year-round, though winter conditions may require standard precautions.
