About

Beyond Chunderdome is a rock climbing destination located near Ouray, Colorado, on the Western Slope. The site sits at an elevation of 11,161 feet and offers routes classified as difficult. Climbers typically spend about five hours on the outing, which involves parking at the base and bringing pets. The primary route is a 160-foot (48-meter) traditional climb consisting of two pitches. The first pitch features a left-facing diagonal dihedral with four small overlapping roofs, creating cruxes rated between 5.10b and 5.10c. The second pitch involves maneuvering out of a corner and ascending a face with six bolts, ending at an anchor. Descent is possible via three rappels using a 60-meter rope. The area remains accessible year-round, though winter conditions can impact route accessibility.
