Rotary Park Bouldering

Filled with classic boulder problems from easy to hard, steeped in climbing history, step up to the plate and taste what Rotary has to offer! What a better place to finish a day than with a main course of bouldering followed by dessert, a flaming sunset of green and granite hills and fiery clouds reflected in the reservoir - whoops that is about half full now due to construction. Rotary has inspired climbers ever since John Gill first laid eyes upon them. Many a climber and boulderer has cut their bouldering teeth here. Come try the classic power problems, technical traverses or a few superb topropes. This is no wilderness experience despite the view. You share this ridgetop with giggling high school kids, CSU college kids showing sights to parents and the Fort Collins locals out for an evening session. The amazing energy and community here comes out fullest in the relaxed atmosphere of the Horsetooth Hang hosted nearly every October. An all-year area, just watch for t! he normal Colorado weather extremes in temperature, shade or sun can be chased on many of the boulders, the ridge (toproping and bouldering) faces west. Don't miss the Ship's Prow (V0), Meditation Traverse (V4), Left (V5) and Right (V3/V3+) Eliminators, Mental Standard (V3), Pinch Overhang (V5/7), Punk Rock Traverse (V5), Talent Scout (V6), Cheat (V9?) and Meat Hook (V10?), Moon Arete (V9), Reach Overhang (V6), Cat's Eye (V2), Bolt Wall (5.10- to 5.10+), Layback Crack (5.8+) and the many many classic lines here. Hands sweating yet? So ... git up and climb!
