About
Insects n' Snails is a 5.10a sport climb located in the Junction Creek area of Durango, Colorado. The route is 60 feet long and situated on Chipmunk Rock. It is the first start immediately to the right of the route Chip n' Dale. The climb begins with a roof start, requiring climbers to use an edge right of Chip n' Dale to reach a ledge and clean face. From there, the route traverses bulges that appear chossy but are actually clean, leading to wild moves past a Swiss cheese layer before finishing at the last bolt and anchors of Chip n' Dale. The route was first ascended by Joel Schiavone and Matthias Holladay. Parking is available at the area, and pets are permitted. The elevation is 7,743 feet.
