About

The Illuminati is a bouldering problem located in Montrose, Colorado, at an elevation of 6,738 feet. The site features a single triangular boulder standing approximately 9 feet (3 meters) high. Climbers access the problem on the left side of this boulder, which is situated near the Exercise Boulder. The route begins with jugs and presents a topout crux, becoming easier as the climber moves farther to the right. Protection requires one or two crash pads and a spotter for the final move. Parking is available on site, and the area is pet friendly. The moderate difficulty level makes it suitable for climbers with some experience.
