About
Righty Tighty is a single sport climbing route located in the Ouray vicinity, just west of the town of Ouray on Colorado’s Western Slope. The route is 70 feet long and bolted, making it suitable for climbers carrying quickdraws. The climb begins with an easy scramble to the first bolt. The crux involves navigating a slightly tricky section over a bulge, followed by easier climbing on a slab characterized by sharp holds. Geographically, the route is situated to the right of the route 'Arms Control' on the left side of the cliff face, near the big orange corner associated with 'Icicle Works'. The route was first ascended by Charlene Ellingsen and Kellie Day. While the database lists the difficulty as 'difficult' and the elevation at 7,756 feet, specific grade notation is not provided in the source text. Parking is available for the area, and pets are permitted.
