About
Avoiding Evil is a trad rock climbing route located near Montrose, Colorado. The route is rated moderate and involves climbing a mostly solid flake system, moving through a small crux above a large flake, and finishing in a low-angle hand crack. The route is approximately 40 feet long. Protection requires a singles rack of cams ranging from 0.2 to 3+, with optional doubles of 0.3. Climbers should carry specific gear for the anchor, including 0.5s, 0.75s, 1s, or 2s, as there is no fixed anchor. The route is situated on a rock panel near Learning Curve and Dry-hedral. Parking is available on site, and pets are permitted. The area is accessible year-round.
