This guide covers the majority of rock climbing to be found in Montrose, Ridgway, Ouray and Silverton, Colorado. Most of the routes are sport climbs, but there is a little bit of everything and there is a wide variety of rock types to choose from. Route lengths are between 30' and rise up to about 1,400'. We got sun. We got shade. Pretty much the only thing we don't have is splitter granite. The scenery is top-notch, and the season never ends.

Montrose: Dry Creek
Ridgway: Colby's Corner, Dike Wall
Ouray: Rotary Park, Pool Wall, Overlook, Jimmy Cliff, Techno Crag, Wicked Crag, The Hall of Justice, Roadside Attraction and Ice Park Crags, Potato Patch.
