About

Out of Pocket is an 80-foot sport climbing route on the Guides' Wall near Ouray, Colorado. The route is classified as difficult and is noted for powerful pocket climbing, tricky cruxes, and a sustained finish. It is bolted and located approximately 10 feet to the right of the route '99 Problems,' starting above a tree stump on the left terrace. Access requires staying on the designated approach trail, as a property owner has requested climbers avoid the private road and other parts of the property. Parking is available at the base. The area is pet-friendly. While the general Ouray region offers year-round climbing, specific route conditions may vary with weather.
