After an epic 4th of July spent in Lander partying with the locals we went to Rifle to check out some of the best sport climbing in the states. Rifle Mountain Park is a narrow canyon with limestone cliffs lining each side. If it were not for the crowds and near proximity to the Front Range, Rifle would be one of my favorite places to sport climb. By the time Eric and I got to Rifle, our psych for sport climbing was gone. We decided to end our 2 month sport climbing trip with a long, amazing route called Feeline. I barely flashed this route as it is over 100 feet tall with technical foot moves and sidepulls on a relatively vertical wall. The picture was taken from the road. The arrow points to Eric to give an idea of how tall the climb is.
