What's here
5.0 to 5.12, mostly around 5.9.
VB to V7, mostly around V1.
Counted from the 109 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) 2 Position on wall known 107
The order of the climbs along this wall is known from the open catalogue, so a few surveys go a long way: standing at Craftmatic, Special Olympian, Holy Moley (3 climbs, about 90 seconds on Saddle, The) would place up to 22 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
Rocks of Pikes Peak Batholith (1000-m.y. age group) (Pikes Peak Granite, Mount Rosa Granite, Windy Point Granite, Redskin Granite) — granite, alkali feldspar granite, minor quartz monzonite. Mesoproterozoic, about 1,600 to 1,000 million years old.
Includes Pikes Peak, Mount Rosa, Windy Point, and Redskin Granites and unnamed rocks
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. The rock named at the top of this page comes from the public geology of this area; this card is the map's answer. Every crag on this unit: Rocks of Pikes Peak Batholith (1000-m.y. age group). Geology data: Macrostrat (CC BY 4.0), serving USGS and Colorado Geological Survey maps.

Access & safety
The map point for this crag is on land managed by Pike 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.

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.
