Denny's Crag - Recreational Easement Project

Help protect climbing access at Denny's Crag - forever!

With effort from the local climbing community, tremendous help from the Access Fund, and outreach from the landowners Denny and Crystal themselves, SLVCA has been fortunate to be able to record a permanent recreational easement to protect climbing access on this unique, privately-owned crag!

The cliff, located in a remote and beautiful setting deep in the heart of the San Luis valley, features over 30 high quality routes between 5.10 and 5.13+ on an uncharacteristically steep basalt dike for the area.

​Please make a donation today to help SLVCA protect long-term climbing access for all at this very special cliffband.

SLVCA now needs help from the climbing community to raise $15,000 towards a small parking area, signage, and the necessary long-term funds to maintain the easement forever.

Access Notes
Help SLVCA meet the terms of the recreation easement by:
  • parking in the designated area (across the road from the cliff)
  • The easement stipulates no more than 10 climbers at the cliff at a time - PLEASE adhere to this rule and climb elsewhere / have a backup plan if the lot is full. We recommend "English Valley."
  • staying on the climber approach trail
  • following all Leave No Trace rules
  • keeping a low profile and noise to a minimum (but please say hi and thank the landowners when you see them!)
  • please leave your pup at home
Grades range from 5.10 to 5.13+ . Enjoy the excellent movement on steep, large holds and take in the beautiful views of the SLV. Name and grade plaques are at the base of all routes.
