What's here
5.9 to 5.12, but over half of these routes are 5.10.
Counted from the 15 climbs here that carry a grade. Shown only where there are at least 5 of them — below that the shape is noise.
How well located
Base placed (one source) 1 Position on wall known 14
The order of the climbs along this wall is known from the open catalogue, so a few surveys go a long way: standing at Ellie's Route, Cool Corner, Gotta Have Balls, Gotta Have Nuts (3 climbs, about 90 seconds on Bionut Wall) would place up to 11 more climbs between them. Survey the wall →
“Up to” because the estimate between two surveyed routes is only used when they turn out to be close enough together on the ground.
Rock, from the geologic map
Basalt flows and associated tuff, breccia, and conglomerate of late-volcanic bimodal suite (Hinsdale Formation, Servilleta Formation) — basalt, minor volcanic, conglomerate. Zanclean, about 5.3 to 3.6 million years old.
Includes basalts of Hinsdale Fm in San Juan Mountains - Servilleta Fm in San Luis Valley and many other occurrences
This is the map unit under this crag's map point, read from the 1:500,000 sheet (Horton and others, 2017, U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 1052). The point can be a few hundred metres from the rock, a cliff often stands on the line between two units, and at that scale a line on the map is about 500 m wide on the ground, so the wall itself may be the neighbouring unit. Every crag on this unit: Basalt flows and associated tuff, breccia, and conglomerate of late-volcanic bimodal suite.

Access & safety
The map point for this crag is on land managed by Grand Mesa National Forest (federal). It lies inside national forest.
Land manager from USGS PAD-US (public domain), read 2026-09-29. It is the manager of the crag's map point, which can be a long way from the wall. What you may do on the rock is the manager's to say, not ours.
Nobody has yet read Grand Mesa National Forest's own rules for this crag and written them down here, so treat the above as where you are, not as what you may do.

Distances are a straight line from this crag's map point, which can itself be hundreds of metres off; a road may be much longer. Mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), so a toilet missing here may simply be unmapped. Parking here is what OSM has drawn nearby, not a guidebook's directions.
