About

Orangina is a 115-foot trad climbing route on the Grizzly Creek Wall in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Located at 8,245 feet elevation, the route is rated difficult (5.11c YDS). The climb features an orange face beneath a large roof, distinct from the surrounding choss. Lower sections offer engaging face climbing protected by cams in horizontal seams. The angle steepens above, where technical climbing is secured by four bolts, including the crux. The upper face displays small, sharp holds cemented with calcite. First ascended by Chris Van Leuven and Mike Schneiter, the route is accessible with parking available nearby. It is pet friendly and suitable for year-round climbing.
