Bullet Hole Bouldering Area

 Grand Junction Climbing

 Grand Junction is surrounded rock climbing and bouldering sites. Perhaps the best place to go bouldering right in town is the "Bullet Hole Climbing Area" right in town. (See interactive map below). Looking at the photo below, you can see this boulder has been shot at many times in the past making a rather unique and challenging climb. The days of shooting more bullets to make new routes are long gone, but there is plenty of established routes to climb. There is also 4 or 5 permanent anchors on top the boulder to help belay you with ropes to the top. Another good place to go climbing near the bullet hole rock is a few hundred yards to the East. If you zoom out on the map below, just follow that trail down to whats referred to as the "Dynamite Shack" climbing area. the shacks were used to store dynamite during the construction of the Colorado National Monument road.
