About

Pizza is a trad rock climbing route on the north face of The Citadel in Durango, Colorado. The route is classified as difficult and consists of a 100-foot climb. Climbers begin on a bolted slab angling to the left, leading to a large ledge with three bolts. From there, the path continues past a tree to a break in the headwall, reaching the summit via two bolts plus gear. The protection requires five bolts and gear ranging from 0.5 to 2 inches. The route serves as a convenient approach pitch to the top of The Citadel for rappelling down the south face. Parking is available at the site, and pets are allowed. The elevation is listed as 7,142 feet in the database, though one source cites 5,448 feet.
