5. Iron Side Wall

Colorado > Independence Pass > Monitor Rock

Description

Iron Side Wall is a great wall just up the trail from the Boulder Wall. Follow the directions to the Boulder Wall. Baby Doe is the first route on this wall and it's just past the right-facing dihedral. Baby Doe is the only route that starts from below. The rest of the routes start uphill just past the little tree (it's the only one there). There is something for beginners and the advanced as the routes go.
