Garden of the Gods Summit Tour

Garden of the Gods is a unique climbing area full of history and interesting climbing features. During this summit tour we aim to climb to the top of a variety of the tallest features often using some of the routes below depending on guests abilities.

• Montezuma's Tower (5.7): at only a couple pitches it's not a particularly long climb but nowhere else do you get such wild position on this teetering tower.
• New Era (5.7): the perfect desert crack and you don't even have to go all the way to the desert! 3 pitches of stellar climbing lead to the summit of Grey Rock.
• West Point Crack (5.9): challenging and with a variety of styles this reaches the summit of South Gateway in 3 pitches. The squeeze chimney tends to be a favorite before the wild lean across on the last pitch.
  -Tourist Gully (5.2): straightforward climbing following the gully leads to a traverse ledge before summiting North Gateway Rock.
  -S. Ridge of Grey Rock (4th Class): a casual scramble that also serves as the descent for New Era with exquisite views from the south end of the park.
  S. Ridge of S. Gateway (5.0): a long pitch of low angle slab climbing leads to the top of the second biggest summit in the park.
