About

Vitamin D is a 60-foot sport climbing route located in Rifle Mountain Park, west of Denver. The route is classified as difficult and shares its start with the nearby route Debaser. Climbers traverse straight left immediately after Debaser heads right under a roof. The climb is short and fun, featuring bolts for protection. The rock quality varies by wall within the park, with Vitamin D situated in an area known for limestone sport climbing. The route is accessible year-round, though the park sees higher traffic on weekends from May through September. Parking is available on site at the climbing area, and pets are permitted.
