The Pup Tent of Solitude

You pass the Pup Tent on the way to The Fortress of Solitude. From the parking area, follow the trail across the hillside until it enters Hadley Gulch. At the old gate and fence, hike back down the cliff line.

The routes are short but fun. The wall faces south and gets quite a bit of sun. There’s some new route potential, especially for easier routes hereabouts, and for hard routes if you follow the cliff around the corner into Main Elk Creek. There's two routes missing from the topo. That Corner aka Eternity is to the right of the listed routes and is 11a, bring some small cams. Country Style Pork Rib is to the left of the listed routes and is 5.8-ish.
