About

Natura Selvaggia is a 5.11b YDS sport climbing route located on the Forgotten Wall in Telluride, Colorado. The climb sits at an elevation of 9,610 feet and is classified as difficult. It was first ascended by Patricio Vyhmeister in 2011. The route is the sixth pitch from the left on the wall face. Climbers traverse under a large flake before clipping a fixed chain for protection. Parking is available at the site, and the area is pet friendly. The surrounding San Juan Mountains offer extensive wall faces with a mix of granite and rugged terrain. Telluride serves as a central hub for climbing, featuring nearby areas like Ophir Wall and Cracked Canyon. The region has a history of exploration by notable climbers including Lynn Hill and Charlie Fowler.
