About
Vitamin H is a difficult sport climbing route located in Rifle Mountain Park, Western Colorado. The climb is graded 5.13a and features a direct start up grungy rock just right of the Rendez-Spew route. Originally rated 12d, the grade has been adjusted upward over time. The area offers limestone sport climbing with routes ranging from slightly to very overhanging. Climbers should expect long, complex endurance routes on large flat holds, pockets, crimps, and pinches. The park is accessible year-round, with parking available for visitors. Pets are permitted in the area. While the park is fairly crowded on weekends from May through September, Vitamin H remains a consistent destination for skilled climbers seeking challenging terrain. The elevation of the climbing area is approximately 7,085 feet, though specific route data may vary slightly by source. The rock quality varies from wall to wall, with some sections offering short power routes on pocket-riddled stone and others providing blocky cave climbing. The area is known for its high concentration of 5.13 to 5.14 sport routes.
