About
Captain Greenhigh is a sport climbing route located on Master's Wall in Cunningham Gulch, near Silverton, Colorado. The crag sits at an elevation of approximately 11,000 to 11,400 feet. The route is graded 5.11d (7a), placing it in the difficult category for sport climbing. It is a single pitch, approximately 80 to 100 feet long, featuring hard gneiss rock with incut edges and sidepulls. The approach from the parking area involves a 10-minute walk up an erosion gully. Parking is available near the trailhead. The area is pet-friendly, though dogs are restricted to the left side of the crag because the main wall access uses a fixed line. Silverton offers nearby camping and services, with climbing season extending through the summer months.
