Description

Essentially at the base of the Sheep's Nose formation there are an abundance of wonderful boulders. I have spent some significant time working some of these problems and have only ever seen a handful of people around. This is probably not a year round location due to summers being extremely hot; however, I have bouldered here on sunny January days.

Edit:2/26/09 I have listed the boulders in a generic mode of A,B,etc. They may be listed as other names or numbers in other books. If anyone out there has any historical info on names and such I would be glad to update. Plus, I enjoy historical info on areas. Thanks!

Getting There

Follow the directions to the Sheep's Nose formation. Once you turn right on Stump Rd. (0.8 miles from CO-67), drive 1.8 miles to a signed dirt parking area on the left side of the road. To avoid a ticket, park only in designated spots out in the forest, meaning that for Sheep Nose, this is the lot (link to the parking spot). There is a wash/dry creek bed across the road from the parking area. Walk up this until the trail obviously leads right and uphill to the formation. (The edit is courtesy of Isaac Palatt).
