Perched on the left edge of the Dan’s Line slab within The Bihedral's Upper Tier, Group Therapy offers a direct, steady introduction to sport climbing that both newcomers and experienced climbers can appreciate. This single-pitch route stretches roughly 100 feet, threading its way up a gently angled face that rewards purposeful footwork and relaxed movement rather than brute strength. The climb begins from a broad flat boulder at the base—an inviting launchpad—before ascending a left-leaning groove. This groove guides you up to a solid ledge just above a stubborn little pine tree that clings to life in the cracks below.

From here, the route reveals its true character: a line of well-placed bolts (~10 in total) spaced along clean edges that steadily pull you upward. The granite here is mostly sound with good feet and handholds, though a deliberate step just beyond the fifth bolt requires a precise transfer right to avoid a patch of fractured rock. Staying focused on the face ensures a safe and enjoyable climb — the corner on the left isn’t part of the route and demands a careful bypass.

A modest bulge presents a brief challenge near the top, a segue that tests balance more than strength as you push toward the two-bolt anchor with lowering hooks waiting overhead. This anchor point is well-equipped, but climbers should check their rope length carefully; some 60-meter ropes require a tied-off knot at the end to prevent a tricky rappel.

Located in Boulder Canyon just outside the city of Boulder, Colorado, Group Therapy fits neatly into a day of accessible outdoor climbing with good approach trails and familiar rock textures. The area offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding foothills and high plains, and even on warmer days, the shaded slab provides welcome relief. Because the wall faces generally northeast, mornings bring cool conditions that many climbers prefer before afternoon sun nudges its way in.

Protection on this route is straightforward bolts that suit sport leaders new to clipping and managing anchors with confidence. The climb’s generous ledges and stable footing help maintain composure, making it a reliable choice for refining movement on slab terrain. Given the moderate grade of 5.8, it strikes a solid balance of challenge and ease.

Before climbing, prepare by bringing shoes with sticky rubber for the slab’s smooth edges, and hydrate well—even short routes demand respect for the dry mountain air. The approach is short, roughly 10 minutes from the main Boulder Canyon trailhead, following a packed dirt path that rises alongside seasonal creeks and sun-dappled pine stands. Once on the route, take time to appreciate how nature's persistence in this rugged spot—like that scrappy pine tree below—echoes the patient, methodical skill sport climbing teaches.

To descend, rappel from the anchors with care, double-checking rope length and knot security. The moderate exposure and solid protection make Group Therapy an excellent confidence-builder inside a stunning Colorado climbing environment that beckons both newcomers and seasoned climbers seeking a satisfying single-pitch experience.
