About
Slacker is a short, 30-foot sport climb located in Rifle Mountain Park, Rifle, Colorado. Situated at an elevation of 6,075 feet, the route is classified as difficult and is noted for being an anomaly within the local area: a bouldery route. The climb is described as very overhanging and engaging, featuring a micro-crux with hard moves up and left to an obvious spike. It is suitable for climbers seeking power over endurance, offering a stark contrast to the longer, pumping-heavy routes found elsewhere in the park. The route is accessible year-round and parking is available on site. Pets are permitted. The climb typically takes around 4 hours to complete, including approach and descent time, though the actual climbing effort is brief. Protection consists of 5 to 7 quickdraws. The first ascent was made by Mike Downing.
