About

Z. B. Traverse is a short, 15-foot boulder problem located near Montrose, Colorado. The route begins at the northern, lowest end of the boulder and traverses left along a slopey lip using heel and toe hooks before toping out in the middle. The climb features distinct pinch holds and a technical topout. The rock is described as slightly chossy, though it has the potential to become a classic problem as more climbers send it and clean the rock. A crash pad is the primary protection required. The site is pet-friendly and offers parking. While general Montrose climbing areas are accessible year-round, this specific boulder is a short outing suitable for climbers seeking technical boulder problems rather than long endurance routes.
