The Hall of Fame is a climbing area in Colorado's Pike and San Isabel National Forests, within the South Platte Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits close to several other climbing spots and a campground, making it an easy anchor for a day or longer in the district. The climbing here is all sport, with nine routes that range from about 5.7 to 5.12-. The median grade is around 5.10-, so climbers with a 5.10 or 5.11 can expect a mix of slightly easier and harder options. Among the named routes are "It's a Gift" at 5.7, "Bobby Jones Dihedral" at 5.10b/c and "Streaking for Fame" at 5.12-, which was first climbed by Dave Montgomery and Lisa Stern in 2014. July is the warmest month, with typical highs around 74°F and lows near 47°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station. Winters are cold, with January highs averaging about 33°F. The closest neighbors are the Emerald Crest Jewel of Tzillastan and Switchblade climbing areas, both within a third of a mile, and Devils Head Campground about a mile away. Horse Creek, a canoeing spot, lies roughly 6 miles off.
