Panties

About

Panties is a rock climbing area located near Palisade, Colorado, on the Western Slope. The site sits at an elevation of 6,826 feet and features routes classified as difficult. Climbers generally spend approximately four hours on their ascent, though this duration applies to completing the chosen route rather than just the climb itself. The area offers on-site parking and permits pets, making it accessible for visitors with animals. While the database indicates year-round access from January to December, local context suggests seasonal considerations for wildlife. Specific climbing areas in the region implement annual closures from February 1 through July 31 to protect nesting birds of prey. Climbers should check for posted signs at access points to ensure they are not disturbing active raptor territories. The location is part of the broader Palisade region, known for its red rock formations and agricultural setting. Evidence supports that Panties is a distinct destination with established routes, suitable for those seeking challenging climbs without requiring extreme technical skill beyond the difficult rating.
