Royal Wedding offers climbers a focused taste of Colorado Springs’ North Cheyenne Canyon climbing scene, where the sun-carved rocks meet steady flows of shade and breeze. This brief, single-pitch sport climb demands precision and calm—starting with a left-step onto a reliable foothold that sets the rhythm. From there, climbers engage thin face holds, inviting both finesse and deliberate movement. The six bolts placed along the route offer solid security but reward attention to detail as you ascend. Clipping the bolt with a chain brings a moment of steady anchor before a straightforward push toward the top anchors. The stone itself feels responsive under finger pads, textured enough to test grip yet comfortable for confident holds. While not a marathon of verticality, Royal Wedding’s compact challenge fits perfectly into a half-day outing or a warm-up before deeper canyon exploration. Approaching from the South Buttress, the trail to the base is well-maintained yet shaded by pine groves, softening the heat during warmer months. For climbers aiming to experience a clean sport route within reach of Colorado Springs, this is a practical climb with character. Being mindful of the moderate 5.9- rating, expect some commitment in the moves but no unnecessary drama. Prepare with sturdy sport climbing shoes and pack water—hydration remains key even on a route this short. The scene is alive with the canyon’s steady pulse: a slight wind brushing through the trees, the faint birdcalls overhead, and rocks warming gradually in the sun’s slow arc. Royal Wedding stands as a compact invitation to sharpen your sport climbing skills just outside town, balanced perfectly between nature’s subtle pace and technical demand.
