Mushrooms and Chocolate Milk
Description
I'm sure most, if not all boulders, have been done here, but I didn't see this area I've been climbing on duringh my lunch break on MP or in a Denver area guidebook I have, and the quality seems like it hasn't been climbed in a long time, so figured I'd add it. Let me know if there is a name/FA,
etc
. on this.
This is a super easy, yet fun, chimney to practice some chimney climbing. I've only done it without a pad but probably would feel a lot safer with one. An unlikely fall would probably resort in a sprained or broken ankle due to uneven footing at the bottom. I climb down the chimney when done, but there's other easy options for getting down. Beware of some mouse poops and choss, too.
Location
Park in the neighborhoods on the east side, and hike in. Go off trail for just a few feet once you're maybe a quarter to a halfway to the actual Castle Rock. You'll see 2 large rocks splitting open into a chimney.
