Cheyenne Canyon Classic Climbs

Cheyenne Canyon is a bit of a hidden gem, known mostly among local climbers who appreciate its quieter atmosphere and reliable rock. The canyon features shady granite slabs and cliffs that offer a more subdued, peaceful climbing environment compared to the busier parks nearby. Its granite provides solid, enjoyable movement with a mix of moderate routes, making it a welcoming place for climbers who prefer a more relaxed setting or want to escape the crowds.

Because of its dependable rock quality and sheltered conditions, Cheyenne Canyon also serves as an excellent backup location when the softer sandstone at Garden of the Gods becomes too wet to climb. The cooler, shaded walls make it a comfortable option during warm days, while the variety of routes ensures there’s something for most skill levels. For those seeking a quieter climbing day with dependable granite, Cheyenne Canyon is a reliable and rewarding choice.
