Description

Punk Rock is a complete sport and top rope, 30' tall crag located ... between Estes Park and Boulder. The rock is sharp on the hands but very positive. In the summer, it is cooler because of its elevation (around 9000'), and in the winter, well it's cold starting in October. There are climbs from 5.8-5.11 offering fun for all. The descent/access to top rope anchors can befound by heading around back of the crag and bouldering up the crack. All of the routes are fun, but Rip Off Ranger is a blast.

This rock is basically in the center of what can be a pretty crowded, rednecky, off-roadin', gun-shootin' place. By July, sometimes there are fire and gun restrictions which drastically reduces that effect. There are rarely very many climbers here.
