About

A View to a Kill, also known as One in the Pink, is a rock climbing location in Ouray, Colorado, situated at an elevation of 9,692 feet. The area features difficult routes, including specific sport climbs like The Groper and Jay's Newer Route (Not Dead Yet). Climbers should expect chossy rock conditions, which are described as sometimes loose, particularly on the finish of certain routes. The crag is pet-friendly and offers parking. Access requires staying on the designated approach trail, as property owners have requested climbers avoid venturing onto private roads or other parts of the property. The location is part of the broader Ouray climbing scene, which includes sport and trad routes in the San Juan Mountains.
