The sport of rock climbing has gained wide popularity in recent years. Durango has a number of popular local climbing areas that are close and accessible. By far the most popular area is X-Rock, which is named for the unique rock which has a large, natural “X” on the front face. The cliffs in this area provide many excellent novice and intermediate climbs.
From Durango, head north on Main Street to 38th street. X-Rock is located just north of city limits at approximately 38th and Main Ave. It is clearly visible on the west side of Hwy 550 North
