About

Jay's Route, also known as Deadpoint or No Parking, is a sport rock climbing route in Ouray, Colorado. Located at an elevation of 5786 feet, the climb is 45 feet high and rated difficult. The route features black bolts and follows a line left of a slight bulge near the climb 'Pleasing the Masses.' It sits in front of a large tree, just right of San Juan Snake. First ascended by Jay Smith in 2008, the spot offers parking nearby and allows pets. Climbers should consult Jason Nelson's guidebook 'Climbs of the Million Dollar Highway' for detailed information. The route is accessible year-round, though winter conditions may include snow and ice.
