Orangina is a 5.11c YDS 6c+ French 24 Ewbanks VIII- UIAA 24 ZA E4 6a British PG13 trad, 115 ft (35 m) located in Glenwood Springs > Glenwood Canyon > Grizzly Creek Wall (a. First ascent by Chris Van Leuven and Mike Schneiter. This quality face climb is a gem in a sea of choss on the Mudwall. Engaging face climbing down low is protected by cams in horizontal seams. Above, the angle steepens where tenuous, technical climbing is protected by 4 bolts, including the technical crux. The upper face is featured with small, sharp holds cemented with calcite. The 5.11c portion is reasonably protected with bolts. The PG-13 section comes in the lower section and is probably no harder than 5.10+/5.11-. Protection: Where the trail meets the wall is an enormous roof capping a section of face that is smooth and orange. Bear Paw, an old Layton Kor-Larry Dalke route climbs the left side of this roof. Orangina climbs the orange face underneath the roof.
