The Globe is a climbing area in Colorado's Pike and San Isabel National Forests, within the South Park Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits about 0.6 miles from the Tarryall climbing area, making it an easy addition to a day spent in the surrounding crags. The climbing here is all trad, with five routes ranging from 5.7 to 5.10. Alpine Blue Ribbon is the easiest at 5.7, and Global Stemfest is the hardest at 5.10a. The Cosmonaut Space-Jam Boogie is a 5.9. The routes are a compact cluster, so a single visit can cover several of them. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb.
