About

Slopers on the East Side is a bouldering site in Crested Butte, Western Colorado, located at an elevation of 9,331 feet. The site features a single boulder approximately 12 feet (4 meters) high with moderate difficulty routes. Climbers start by standing on a sloping rail and ascend a short problem to the top. The primary protection method involves using crash pads and spotters rather than fixed gear. Access requires entering from the north side because the southern entrance crosses private property. Parking is available on-site, and pets are permitted. The area is open year-round from January to December, though conditions vary with snow and ice during winter months. Climbers typically spend around 4 hours at the site.
