Be considerate MORE INFO >>> Jazz Dome is located on Denver Water property. Reportedly Denver water has no objections to climbing on the rock; however, there is a small tract of private property near the south edge of the dome. Please be considerate and keep the noise levels down and the trash out. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Boulder up to the first bolt. This is the crux, and it is definitely harder than the 5.5 rating given in Hubbel's book. Though after the first bolt the climbing eases considerably.

The bolts are shoddy, but it seems that if they were more solid that the placements would be ok. I just don't think any of them would hold much of a fall.

I also would not consider this a beginner route, but it is a good introduction to bolted, slab climbing.

Enjoyable route!

Location 

Walk right from the four main routes on the wall slightly up the hill. This is the left most of the trio of easier routes on the right end of the wall. The start is distinctly harder than the other two route nearby.

Protection 

Four "bolts" and a tree anchor.
