On the main street of Estes Park is a small park/amphitheater called Performance Park. The backdrop to the amphitheater is a small cliff. The Town of Estes Park opened the cliff to public climbing in 2017. The cliff has about a dozen or so sport routes. The overall rock quality is good. The climbs are short, at about 30-60 feet. Due to the accessibility and location of this cliff, as well as the easy grades, it is a popular destination.

Although I live in Estes Park about 5 minutes walk from Performance Park, to date I have only climbed there a few times. I guess my eventual goal is to climb every route there. Seems like that should be easy to do but somehow its been a few years and I still have a few I have not climbed.

On this page, I give photos from climbing at Performance Park, organized by date. At the bottom of the page, I keep a list of the climbs I've done at Performance Park.
