Straight No Chaser offers a brisk yet engaging introduction to the sport routes peppered throughout the Jazz Dome area near Deckers, Colorado. Measuring roughly 150 feet, this single-pitch climb delivers a solid 5.9- challenge that balances technical moves with run-out stretches, giving climbers a taste of both focus and flow. Beginning in a shallow depression that demands careful footing, the climb invites you to navigate five well-placed bolts before reaching a reliable bolted anchor. The initial bolt requires some caution due to an encroaching tree limb, hinting at the natural interplay between rock and forest here. The early section skirts groundfall danger if you choose the depression, while the upper moves open into more exposed territory, testing endurance and route reading. The granite’s texture offers crisp edges and pockets that reward precise footwork and steady hand placements. Upon topping out, views of the South Platte River valley unfold quietly, letting your breaths even out after the steady push. For climbers comfortable with moderate run-outs, Straight No Chaser combines laser-focused movement with the satisfying rhythm of a classic sport climb. Although the route is short, it packs intention and grit, making it a practical choice for those wanting a focused session in one of Colorado’s less crowded climbing spots. Dry rock and stable bolts mean this route remains accessible in spring through the fall, while the surrounding pines add fresh forest scents and a gentle breeze. Pack your approach shoes for an uneven trail, and bring two draws per bolt to move efficiently. This climb fits well into a day of exploring the Jazz Dome sector and nearby South Platte crags, providing valuable practice for climbers stepping up from beginner grades or seasoned adventurers seeking a clear-cut line in a quiet setting.
