About
Dawn of the Dead is a moderate trad climbing route located near Silverton, Colorado, in the San Juan Mountains. The single-pitch route climbs approximately 100 feet and is characterized by big holds and nice moves. It diverges from the upper part of the Tree of Life route, climbing up just right of a blocky pedestal and left of a crack once on the ledge below the chimney. The route lacks fixed protection and requires bolts. Access is on private property; the gate is bolted closed and marked no trespassing, so climbers should be respectful. Parking is available on-site, and the area is pet-friendly. The elevation is listed as 10,080 feet in database records, though web sources cite 8,262 feet. The area is accessible year-round.
