About
The Itch is a moderate rock climbing route located in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, specifically within the Poison Ivy Wall on the west side of Glenwood Canyon. The route is a 5.9 YDS trad climb, measuring 60 feet in length. It features a left-facing dihedral that requires jamming techniques and the use of big holds and flakes. The route is situated just to the right of the Silver Doors. Access is via the trail along the wall. The area offers parking and is pet-friendly. While the general climbing area is accessible year-round, local conditions such as the Gold Mountain Fire may impact access.
