Turkey Rocks has one of the finest concentrations of crack climbs in Colorado with a friendly southerly aspect and a quick approach. As the same suggests, Turkey Rocks is a collection of rocks, including popular rocks such as the Leftovers, Rightovers, Turkey Rock, The Turkey Perch, and Turkey Tail.
Turkey Rocks faces primarily south, although there are some aspects that hold shade as well. For this reason, it is often possible to climb here during the winter, although a four wheel drive vehicle and spikes might be needed to negotiate the snow that is sometimes found on the road and the walk to the base of the crags.
The first time I climbed at Turkey Rocks was in July 2019, for two short days with a friend from Washington who was interested in a grand tour of some of the climbing areas in Colorado. I had just moved to Boulder and was eager to check out the area, so we included Turkey Rocks in our tour.
On this page, I give photos from climbing at Turkey Rocks, organized by date. At the bottom of the page, I keep a list of the climbs I've done at Turkey Rocks.
