About
Bad Bowl is a 55-foot single-pitch rock climbing route located in the Secret Stash sector near Ouray, Colorado. The route combines sport and traditional climbing styles, rated 5.9-. The climb begins on the right side of the main wall near a large pine tree, featuring five bolts. Climbers then move left into an overlapping crack section requiring finger to hand-sized cams. The top is secured by anchor slings tied around the pine tree. First ascended by Pete Davis and Jeff Davies in 2001. Parking is available at the site. The area is pet friendly. The route is considered one of the easiest and best options in the sector.
