About

Siddartha's Left Arm is a rock climbing area located in Montrose, Colorado, specifically identified as the left end of the Dry Creek Crag. Situated on the Uncompahgre Plateau, this spot features sandstone cliffs approximately 30 to 50 feet high. The climbing consists of 20 to 30 mostly sport routes, typically featuring 5 to 8 bolts per pitch. The terrain offers a variety of difficulties, including steeper options for experienced climbers, with classic routes rated between 5.8+ and 5.10-. The area is accessible year-round, though the soft caprock means top anchors are rare; climbers should set anchors on rock features or juniper trees. Parking is available at the cliff top, requiring a descent via a narrow fissure to reach the climbing walls.
