Introduction:
Dillon Reservior holds a special place in my heart because it is where I was introduced to "Rock Climbing". Back in College one of my friends (who had his own climbing gear) taught me how to belay and climb. So in a pair of vans and borrowed harness, I realized the joy of climbing. Years later I realized that Dillon's short blocky face was better suited for bouldering rather than roped accents. Every trip to Colorado, I make the pilgramage to this little bouldering area.
The rock is blocky and occasionally loose, but landings are typically clear, there are very few overhanging faces, but the access is very easy. Located at the entrance of the
Prospector/Windy Point Campground, this area is acessed via a short hiking path.

Directions:
From Frisco, head south on US-9 towards Brekenridge. Continue several miles tothe interesction of US-9 and Swan Mountain Rd. Turn Left here heading east. Continue for 2.8 miles and look for the campground entrance on the left side of the road (res. side). Pull into the entrance of this national forest campground and look for the foot path just right of the gate. Follow the foot path to uphill to the access point.

Misc:
The campground is closed after Labor Day, so make arrangements if you plan to stay overnight. The gate is closed, so please DO NOT park in front of the gate.
