About

The West Side of No Name is a rock climbing area in Glenwood Springs, located on the left side of the canyon relative to the road and west of No Name Creek and the bridge. The area includes sub-areas such as The Flume Wall, The Hideout, Jumbled Buttress, and Poison Ivy Wall. Access typically involves hiking up the road, crossing the bridge, and walking back downstream; some sections like The Hideout and Jumbled Buttress can be reached by crossing the creek during low water. The area features trad climbing routes, with classic examples including Twin Cracks (5.8) and Poison Ivy? (5.9-). The elevation is listed as 6,216 feet. Parking is available at the base. The area is accessible year-round, though spring through fall is generally best, as winter can be cold with limited sun exposure. Pets are allowed.
