Description

This is a great [granite] dome that extends right from the roadside. The [quality] of the rock is good other than some weak flakes. There are many great slabs, but without trad gear to get above them and set an anchor they would be impossible to do safely. There are plenty of first [ascent] possibilities, for someone who is experienced at placing bolts. The rock offers finger, hand and fist cracks, spaced between sections of slab and face. This is a great spot for winter as it is in the sun throughout the day, but you may experience some snow and water near the top.

Getting There

Get onto Old [Stage Road] behind the [Broadmoor]. Drive several miles until you come to a parking area facing directly east-overlooking Colorado Springs. Some boulders and a 7-foot high, narrow spire can distinguish the parking area. Do not park here, but once you see it drive another quarter mile or so until you come up to a large granite dome on the right side of your car. There is a pull off that can hold 2 cars. Park here and you can belay right from the road side.
