About
The Hamstringer is a bouldering problem located in the Dry Creek Crag area near Montrose, Colorado. The route sits on a large boulder north of the main cluster and offers a V7 (7A+) grade. Climbers traverse an arete before transitioning to the face on the left side, moving across perfect crimps to reach the top. The problem stands approximately 19 feet (6 meters) high. Access requires pads and a competent spotter due to the sketchy landing with large rocks, though old-school climbing is possible. The area features quality rock known for face climbing, with thin, ladder-like holds and periodic cracks. Parking is available on site, and the location is pet-friendly. The climbing season extends year-round.
