About
Car Jacking is a 40-foot sport climbing route located on the Rink Wall in Ouray Rotary Park, Ouray, Colorado. Situated at an elevation of approximately 7,812 feet, the route is rated moderate (5.8) and serves as a practical introduction to lead climbing, lead belaying, and rappelling. The climb ascends a short, vertical face protected by three bolts leading to a two-bolt anchor. The rock surface is described as dirty with a natural patina of dust, requiring climbers to pay attention to footholds and hand placements. The location is accessible year-round with on-site parking available. It is pet-friendly and situated in a quiet area with minimal hike time from the parking area. Water and shade are limited, making hydration important during climbs. Fall and spring are considered optimal seasons for climbing, avoiding summer heat and winter chill.
