About

The Tube is a sport climbing route located in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on the Western Slope. Situated at an elevation of 6,914 feet, it is positioned just left and uphill of the route Git'er Done within a small cave feature. The climb features unique limestone rock with good holds and offers approximately 75 feet of vertical distance. It is rated as difficult, requiring a stout middle section and tricky sequences before reaching a cruiser finish on big holds. The route utilizes 10 bolts and shares an anchor with Git'er Done. Access involves hiking along the river rather than directly on the railroad tracks, as being on the tracks is illegal. Parking is available on site. The area is open year-round, though weather conditions vary. Pets are permitted at the location.
