About
Dangling Participle is a single-pitch sport climb located on the Rink Wall in the Ouray vicinity, Colorado. The route is approximately 50 feet long and is classified as difficult. It is the leftmost route on the Rink Wall. Climbers start left of a specific bulge, ascending a right-angling ramp. The climb involves pulling through an overhang left of the bulge before tackling the crux, described as a high-step-rockover-stem up and left to the steep wall. Protection consists of five bolts and one medium cam leading to a two-bolt anchor. The area offers parking and is pet friendly. Elevation is listed as 10,770 feet in the database, though the existing description notes 6,008 feet; the GPS coordinates place it near Ouray. The route is accessible year-round.
