About
Surrender to the Air is a rock climbing crag located in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, situated at an elevation of 5,797 feet. The site offers difficult routes suitable for climbers seeking technical challenges. The specific route described is a 50-foot (15-meter) climb that combines trad and sport styles. It begins under a steep roof with red, loose rock before transitioning to hard quartzite. Climbers clip an initial bolt for protection and traverse right toward a horn-like feature. The crux involves placing gear, including up to a #5 Camalot, before making large moves on solid holds. The route finishes by moving left to a bolt and ascending into a left-facing corner to reach a two-bolt anchor on a ledge. The crag features parking for vehicles and allows pets. It is accessible year-round, with climbing activity occurring from January through December.
