Jordan Can Climb It offers a straightforward yet engaging trad route tucked into North Horsetooth Ridge, presenting an inviting challenge for climbers who appreciate clean lines and natural features. The climb follows an inside corner dihedral that runs for about 60 feet, surrounded by subtle face and crack holds that demand attention to footwork and hand placement. The smooth, vertical wall feels alive under your hands as you navigate the crack systems, where the rock’s texture shifts from solid granite to sections that might loosen at the top, requiring cautious movement and sharp focus. The approach feels open and airy, with views over Horsetooth Reservoir stretching out below and the foothills rolling into the distance. While it’s a single-pitch experience, the route packs a punch with its moderate 5.9 rating, balancing technical moves and protective placements to keep climbers engaged from base to summit.

Protection is straightforward but demands a bit of foresight. Single cams, from small to a #5, provide enough security, yet the placements can feel sparse near the top, where loose rock warns of potential hazards. You’ll want to carry a light rack to stay nimble and confident on this climb. The exit move is a bit unorthodox—a slight overhang with questionable rock—requiring patience and strategic climbing to finish strong. This adds a subtle edge to an otherwise classic line.

Accessing Jordan Can Climb It is practical and direct. The approach trail begins near Horsetooth Reservoir’s north side, winding through open scrub and pockets of pine that offer occasional shade and glimpses of local wildlife. The trail is well-worn but rocky, taking roughly 20 minutes to reach the base, a perfect warm-up to get you dialed in before the climb. Once on route, the only real challenge besides the rock itself is minimal but demands respectful awareness of loose sections, particularly near the top. Pack enough water, wear sturdy climbing shoes with sticky rubber, and prepare for variable weather—Colorado’s afternoon storms come on fast, so mornings are your safest bet.

This climb fits well into a day of adventure on the ridge or as a technical exercise before extending your day elsewhere. Its exposure and natural setting reward every move with expansive views and crisp mountain air. Jordan Can Climb It is an accessible trad climb with enough personality to keep new leaders and returning climbers interested without pushing beyond approachable limits. It’s a perfect introduction to Horsetooth’s granite edges where tradition meets practicality.
