Notchtop Peak is one of Rocky Mountain National Park’s best entry points into alpine rock climbing or more classic mountaineering routes when snow covered. The route combines a beautiful approach, moderate climbing, and a true high mountain summit without the scale of the park’s more intimidating objectives.
The climbing is approachable for fit climbers who are ready to try alpine terrain, but the setting still requires respect. Weather, timing, route finding, and movement on exposed rock all play a role in making the day successful.
Colorado Climbing Company guides can help bridge the gap between crag climbing and bigger mountain routes. Notchtop is a strong choice for a first guided alpine climb in RMNP and a natural stepping stone toward more technical objectives.
