About
The Jump Problem is a boulder climbing area located near Telluride, Colorado, specifically at Society Turn. The primary feature is a 20-foot (6-meter) boulder problem that involves jumping from a starting boulder to latch a jug approximately 8 to 9 feet up, followed by campus moves and a mantle to reach the top. The climb continues with 10 to 15 feet of moderate slab to the finish. The problem is described as fun and unique, with first ascent attributed to Victor McConnell or a pair of climbers in the fall of 2004. The site is pet-friendly and offers on-site parking. Access involves standing on the boulder just to the left of where the trail hits Society Turn. Protection is none, meaning it is not ideal for falling. The elevation is listed as 13,675 feet in the database, though the web search indicates the specific boulder is 20 feet high. The area is accessible year-round.
