Parachute Rock Rock Climbing

Finding this place isn't too bad if you have the right directions! We drove down Sante Fe to Sedalia, and took a right on CO Highway 67, go about 10 miles until you get to the Rampart Range Road turn-off where you go left at the obvious dirt road. From here, you have 21 miles of winding, washboard, dirt road. Go about 8-9 miles down Rampart Range Road, until you see the signs for Devil's Head. Here, take a right where the sign points you to Woodland Park. Follow this dirt road for 12 miles until you see a left turn on FR 327. Take FR 327 for about 0.6 miles until you see the pinnacle on your left, and park in an obvious pullout in a small draw. From here, the approach is only about 5-10 minutes and is obvious, heading straight up to the base of the climbs. Rack up.

Per slim: the key to finding the turnoff to Parachute Rock is that when you are on the main road (Rampart Range Road), looking north you can see the radio towers dead ahead above the road. If you are coming from the south, this makes it really easy to find at night, as it will be the first time that you can really see the blinking red lights of the radio tower. At this point, the Parachute Road is practically there on the east side (right hand if you are headed north).
