Pine Creek Rock Climbing

The rock in Pine Creek is the same as the Black Canyon only on a smaller scale. And like the black the routes at Pine Creek are mostly trad lines. There are very few climbers ever climbing at Pine Creek, so it's a nice get away from the crowded crags. The routes are on both sides of the road so depending on the time of day you can be in the sun or shade. The fall is by far the best time to climb here, but the spring and summer also offer great climbing. The routes that have been done here have had Jimmy Newberry on the rope almost every time. He has been key in development of this small crag. With Gunnison only a few miles away, everything you need is just down the road i.e. food, gas, camping, beer....
