The Ghetto is a climbing area in Colorado on city land within the Bergheim - Wood land unit, about 1.4 miles from Boulder. It sits close to several other climbing spots, so it works well as a stop among a cluster of boulders and rock faces. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the Boulder weather station, about 1.4 miles away, put May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, with July peaking near 88°F and winter lows in the low 20s. The closest neighbors are Third Flatiron and El Primero Boulder, both about 0.1 mile away, and the Kohler Mesa Trail, about 0.3 mile off. Boulder Creek, about 2 miles away, offers canoeing.
