Energy Crag is a climbing area in Colorado, set within Alderfer/Three Sisters Park on county land. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots and trails, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the park's rock and paths. The area is a bouldering destination, with 13 boulder problems and one trad route among its 14 routes. The boulders range from V0 to V8, with the V3 grade typical of the middle of the scale. The hardest route is Thievery at V8, and the easiest is Hug Jugs at V0. The trad route, No Energy, sits at V5-6. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Evergreen run to highs around 81°F in July, with lows near 49°F. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the crag, so temperatures at the crag run cooler. Several other climbing areas and trails lie within a short distance. Ponderosa Trail (SOUTH), Pachyderm Boulder and The Pass are all about 0.1 mile away, and the Sisters Trail is a hike just as close.
