The Garden of the Gods is a true geologic marvel, attracting climbers from all over the country.
Rich in history, this Colorado Springs city park has been described as an immense, natural sculpture garden, and the area has long been a playground for some of the best climbers along Colorado's Front Range.
The Garden's sandstone offers superb challenging routes that require a multitude of climbing skills. From friction to edging to steep pocket pulling, from single pitch to multipitch, from closely bolted sport routes to runout trad classics, you'll find it all here.
Completely updated and revised, this guide now offers extensive written descriptions of the routes, complemented by clear maps of the area and photos of all formations.
Locals and visitors alike will find this book to be an indispensable resource when planning their next climbing adventure at the Garden of the Gods.
