About
The Chewie is a V4 boulder problem located in Lightner Creek, Durango, on the Western Slope of Colorado. Situated at an elevation of 6,552 feet, the climb is accessible year-round from January to December. The route begins under the boulder and requires a crimp right followed by an outward movement. Climbers should bring pads for protection, as the climb is primarily bouldering rather than lead climbing. The site offers on-site parking and allows pets. Durango provides a variety of local rock climbing options, with The Chewie serving as one of the area's moderate difficulty spots. The first ascent was made by Taylor Carrillo.
