Little Finger, also known as Penis Rock Area, is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Gunnison Field Office in Colorado. The land is managed by the BLM, and the area sits among a cluster of other climbing and riding spots, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the surrounding rock and trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Gunnison show July highs around 80°F with lows near 44°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s and low teens. Groove Rock, also called Leap of Faith Area, and Super Slabs are both about 0.1 mile away, and the Ring Dike mountain biking route is just as close. For an overnight stay, Gunnison KOA is about 2.5 miles off.
