About

Right Winged Red Neck is a single-pitch sport climb located in the Ouray vicinity, Colorado. The route measures 45 feet and is classified as difficult. It begins several feet to the right of the Thong Wedgie route, starting from a ledge. The climb features tricky moves and concludes with a bulge of rocks. At the top, climbers angle right to reach shared anchors with the adjacent Lap Route. Protection consists of quickdraws and gear for the anchors. The route was first ascended by Matt Hepp and Jason Nelson. Parking is available, and the area is pet-friendly.
