What's here
VB to V8, mostly around V2.
Counted from the 102 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) 3 Position on wall known 88 Crag only 11
The order of the climbs along this wall is known from the open catalogue, so a few surveys go a long way: standing at Dead Ringer, Split Decision (2 climbs, about 60 seconds on Shadowboxing Boulder) would place up to 10 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.

Photographs near this crag
Taken within 1.5 km of this crag's map point and published under a licence that lets us show them, from Wikimedia Commons. The coordinates say where the camera was, not what it was pointed at, so some of these will be the creek or the trail rather than the rock.

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.
