Haus Rock North Side

Access: Near Keystone. Unmarked parking lot on the north (left) side of Montezuma Rd 1.3 mi from US 6. Follow the trail and the cairns onward and upward from the parking lot. There is a left fork in the trail that is easy to miss. If missed, the trail leads to another, smaller bolted area called Hummingbird. Simply double back.
Difficulty: 5.6 to 5.10, slab climbs

The north side of Haus Rock offers 15 bolted sport routes. There is also a walk around for setting up top rope for some of the routes without leading.  Mountain Project offers detailed descriptions of each route. Arguably the best rock to be found in Summit County, the area is often crowded on summer weekends. The friendly folks of Summit County frequently share ropes enabling several different routes to be climbed consecutively on top rope. Just be aware of the varying degrees of experience, etiquette and safety amongst the climbers found here.
