The Skyland Boulders in Crested Butte have been called “The best in Colorado”. However with the remote location, they are a quiet refuge in the tranquil mountain town. People go to Crested Butte to bike and ski, but rarely to climb.

Zack Alberts spent a decade exploring these boulders and put together this guide. Since some of the obscure classics are tucked away, it will help visitors and locals alike find the little hidden gems. Thanks Zack!

I had a blast climbing at Skyland! I think that my favorite problem was the Wedge Arete. I was really surprised to find so much fun climbing in CB. Even made a short video about it if anyone is curious to see the spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtdEf0R-tKQ
