About

Primadona, also known as NoName 6.3, is a sport climbing route located in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The climb is rated difficult and features bolts for protection. It rises approximately 50 feet (15 meters) from a ledge directly above the adjacent route The Ballerina. Climbers begin by following the first 15 feet of the Original Route, breaking right after clipping a bolt on the face. The route follows a faint groove that trends left to reach anchors at the top. The climb is characterized by thoughtful moves on holds, which may sometimes appear to face in unexpected directions. Access requires a waiver. The route is situated on the Puoux, part of the Defiance Cave Preserve, which is private property. Climbers must download, complete, and submit a climbing waiver to the property manager, Ken Headrick, via email. No specific day or time scheduling is required for submission. The land owner, Michael Frazier, requests notification of any trail or route modifications but does not require them. Rock chipping for hold placement is discouraged; climbers are asked to climb the rock as it exists. The site offers parking at the base. It is open year-round, from January to December. The elevation of the climbing area is listed as 6,424 feet in some sources and 7,578 feet in others. The route is pet-friendly. First ascent was achieved by Josh Allison and company.
