About
Two Moon Buttress is a rock climbing area located in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on the Western Slope. The site features routes rated as difficult, requiring skill and physical endurance. Elevation is listed as 7,362 feet. Access includes available parking and allows pets. While general descriptions suggest year-round accessibility, specific route data indicates the area is part of the Puoux climbing zone, which sits on the Defiance Cave Preserve. Climbers on these routes must submit a waiver to property manager Ken Headrick via email. One documented route, What the Hecht, is an 80-foot sport climb with bolts, starting on a dirty slab and moving to an overhang. The broader Glenwood Canyon area is noted for loose choss rock, though specific conditions for Two Moon Buttress are not detailed beyond the general difficulty rating.
