The Pass is a climbing area within Alderfer/Three Sisters Park in Colorado, on county land. The land manager is the county, and the park is the Alderfer/Three Sisters Park. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Evergreen weather station, which sits about 740 feet lower, run to highs around 76°F in June and 81°F in July, with September easing to about 73°F. Winters are cold, with typical January highs around 44°F and lows near 12°F. Several other climbing areas and trails sit just a short distance away. The Three Sisters, the Work and Play Area and the Highball Wall are all about 0.1 mile off, and the Sisters Trail is the same. Bear Creek, a paddling spot about a mile away, offers a change from climbing and hiking.
