The route known simply as One, Two, Three offers a straightforward yet captivating climbing experience just outside the inviting mountain town of Buena Vista, Colorado. This trad line pulls you into a vertical encounter with rock that feels alive beneath your hands. Beginning with a short, technical move up the first 15 feet of the adjacent Spectcrackular wall, the climb demands focused footwork before you take a precise step right to clip a bolt, securing your position before moving into the main section. Here, shallow cracks open their arms wide, offering hands and feet solid purchase as you ascend linearly towards the summit. The cracks have personality—sometimes subtle and delicate, other times assertive enough to test your rack and technique. At 50 feet high and protected by traditional gear up to 4 inches, One, Two, Three suits those craving a quick, engaging escape from the lower-elevation bustle. The route’s single pitch condenses a crisp burst of climbing on quality stone, providing a concentrated touch of Colorado’s climbing spirit. Expect a moderate challenge at 5.8, making this route accessible for climbers honing crack skills or seeking a reliable warm-up. If you time your climb for morning or late afternoon, the route’s east-facing aspect rewards you with balanced light and shade, keeping rock temperatures comfortable during summer’s heat. Approaching requires a brief hike through open terrain and pine patches, with GPS coordinates marking a clear path. Bring a standard trad rack focused on sizes up to 4 inches—larger cams will remain unused, so keep your rack trim but complete. Descending is straightforward, typically via a walk-off toward the trailhead. Beware of loose rock on the descent and maintain vigilance on your placements during the climb; the shallow cracks test protection, and one misstep can increase the stakes. In all, One, Two, Three provides a focused, hands-on interaction with Buena Vista’s raw rock, perfectly suited for trad enthusiasts eager for a logical line with just enough technical promise to keep the senses sharp.
