Green Mountain Pinnacle is a climbing area on city-managed land within the Bergheim - Wood land unit in Colorado. It sits in a cluster of bouldering and climbing spots, with several named areas right next door. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June through September. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 73°F with lows near 44°F in June to about 70°F and 41°F in September. That station sits roughly 700 feet below the pinnacle, so temperatures here run a little cooler. The Fourth Flatiron, Tangen Towers and Slot Machine Area all lie about 0.1 mile away. The E.M. Greenman Trail is about 0.4 mile off, and Boulder Creek offers canoeing about 2 miles away.
