About

Right El Skyland is a bouldering area located in Crested Butte, Colorado, on the Western Slope. It sits within the Skyland boulders, positioned along the base of Mt. Crested Butte above the Skyland neighborhood. The primary route, Right El Skyland, is a 25-foot (8 m) boulder problem graded 6A. Climbers start just to the right of J-Crack and move up on good edges toward a hueco before toping out. Access to the boulders is open but restricted by private property; climbers must enter from the north rather than the southern entrance. Parking is available on site, and pets are permitted. The area is generally uncrowded and features high-quality granite rock. While the database lists the elevation as 8,941 ft, web sources cite 6,906 ft; the location is definitively in the Crested Butte area.
