A coworker told me he had seen a lot of climbers not far from a place known as 'china wall' that is popular with 4x4's. He said he must have seen at least 20 people out climbing. This would be the southwest of the south platte.

Does anyone know the name of this area or have any info?

Thanks!

Here's the 4WD trail description: 4x4explore.com/rds/c_rds/ch…

I don't know what area that would be though, I wonder if they saw people on the north face of this? goo.gl/maps/XVKYnnwE6LE2

Check out a guidebook by Bob Robertson called Badger Mountain:

I forget the name of the wall being referenced but it is right off of CO 77, past the China Wall area and adjacent to a hiking / camping area. About 10 routes, all of which are very fun.

Thanks guys!
I bought a copy of the Robertson guide book at Mountain Chalet. The place in question was 'spruce it up'. The badger area consists of many different places spread about with a variety of routes, and appears to have good camping.

The only downside of the area is constant gunfire and the annoying drone of 2-stroke dirt bikes. Mostly I've heard that at Valley of the Chickens. When the weather gets too cold at night for the bubbas to convince big momma to go camp, that should be the good time.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
