Covid-19 Guidance

Dear Climbing community

In a continued effort to “Flatten the Curve” the state of Colorado has issued a Stay-in-Place order effective March 26

This order supersedes  the City of Boulder Shelter-in-Place order that was issued earlier on March 24

Boulder city parks and open space areas remain open, but of limited access due to the new state Stay-at-Home order. For those fortunate to have trailheads in their neighborhood please maintain social distance and stay home if you’re sick.

While individual outdoor recreation is possible, rock climbing at this time is not advisable and we support calls by the Access Fund and the Boulder Climbing Community to refrain from climbing until this pandemic is under control at the local level. Many of our fellow climbers are nurses, doctors and first responders on the front line of defense against this pandemic, so lets support them by not contributing further to the spread of the virus and avoiding accidents that require rescue or emergency room visits.

Here are some additional recommendations

Thank you,

The Flatirons Climbing Council
