All climbs are on the east side of the the canyon.
That means a.m. shade with p.m. sun.

Conditions
Winter: Cold
Spring: Seeps, but will dry out some with sun.
Summer: Shade until early afternoon.
Fall: Like Summer, but not as hot.

There is now a Porta-potty at the Feline parking lot. Thank You, City of Rifle!

Getting There Suggest change

Drive into RMP and locate the Koper's/ Ice Caves trail/ Wasteland parking lot on the left, just past the small bridge.
Continue for 0.3 mile to the Feline parking lot on the left at the bend in the road.
There is room for about 8 cars here.
Please park head in only.

CAUTION: Cars sometime speed up and down this section of the Canyon!

Access:
There are two sections to this area.

G3 Left Side:
Park and hike downstream 30 seconds and locate a flat stone stepped trail on your left.
This trail meets the wall at the climb Sheehan.

G3 Main Wall:
Park and hike downstream 60 seconds and locate a stone stepped trail on your left that leads up to the main wall.

ENJOY!
