The Rolling Log

About

The Rolling Log is a sport climbing route located in Rifle Mountain Park, near Rifle, Colorado. The area is known for high-quality limestone climbing, particularly on the harder end of the spectrum. This specific route is approximately 30 feet long and features four bolts leading to a lowering anchor with fixed carabiners. It begins and ends with moderate boulder problems. While guidebooks often rate it as 5.11d, local assessment suggests it is slightly easier than that grade compared to other routes in the area. The route is situated 100 feet to the climber's right of the Red Dawn route, starting to the right of a low, long roof. Parking is available at the park, and pets are permitted. The climbing season is year-round, though the broader Rifle area sees increased traffic on weekends from May through September.
