Pebbles offers a straightforward 70-foot climb that challenges climbers with a distinctive diagonal crack tucked just to the left of Bam Bam in the Jurassic Park area of Bed Rock. This single-pitch trad route provides a satisfying adventure for climbers eager to sharpen their crack climbing skills on solid Colorado stone. The rock itself is reliable, though the route requires precise gear placement ranging from thin finger-sized cams up to larger nuts at 3 1/2 inches. Approaching the climb, you'll find yourself at the heart of Estes Park Valley, where Colorado’s rugged wilderness embraces you with crisp mountain air and the sounds of distant pines swaying gently in the breeze.

The crack entices with a mix of hand jams and finger locks, coaxing you upward with steady, well-protected moves. Two fixed bolts assist in the approach to and exit from the crack — the latter shared with the adjacent Bam Bam route — offering subtle security while maintaining the traditional feel. This climb rewards those who come prepared with a standard rack of cams sized 3/8" to 3 1/2". Be deliberate with each piece: placements can be subtle but hold firm when properly seated.

The setting is rustic yet accessible, with a short approach that threads through rocky terrain and low alpine scrub. As you climb, the face opens to an exposed vantage where broad views of the surrounding valley begin to unfold. The sun hits the face in mid-morning, so starting early helps avoid overheating and keeps hands dry. The route’s moderate 5.8 rating is approachable for most intermediate climbers but expect the crux near the crack’s midsection to test your footwork and gear placements.

Pebbles is an ideal climb for trad enthusiasts looking for quality stone and a solid crack that demands focus without overwhelming difficulty. It pairs well with a climb on Bam Bam for a fulfilling day split between two adjacent lines with shared anchors. The descent is straightforward with a single rappel from the shared anchor or a controlled walk-off to the base. Take your time on the approach and descent; loose rocks and shifting footing require steady attention.

Whether you’re brushing up on gear tricks or easing into traditional routes, Pebbles delivers a grounded yet engaging experience. Remember to pack ample water and to climb during stable weather—summer afternoons can bring swift mountain thunderstorms. Footwear with sticky rubber will enhance your grip on the edges and quartz flakes that pepper the route. This climb stands as a solid stepping stone for those exploring the broader treasures of the Estes Park climbing scene.
