Flagstaff

Fantastic Bouldering overlooking town

Flagstaff Mountain is Boulder’s historic local bouldering area. The gritty rock is powerful and skin-intensive, with problems overlooking the town. The area shines for its large volume of classic lines spread across popular zones and quieter outlying areas ranging from V0–V13.
