About

Hollywood Babylon is a sport climbing route located in the Ouray vicinity of Western Colorado, situated within the San Juan Mountains. The route is classified as difficult and stands at an elevation of 12,244 feet. It measures approximately 90 feet in length and features a mix of slab climbing, juggy faces, and steeper crux sections. The climb begins on a slab with thin moves, traverses around a large detached flake, and ascends through blocky features to an apex headwall before exiting right and returning left to the anchor. The route is protected by 10 bolts leading to a two-bolt lowering anchor, allowing for rappelling or lower-out. Access is facilitated by parking available at the base of the climb, and the area permits pets. The route was first ascended by Pete Davis and Logan Tyler.
