About
Sam's Spam is a 5.9+ YDS sport, 90 ft (27 m) located in Ouray vicinity > Ridgway Dike Wall. First ascent by Unknown, maybe Billy Mac. This THE historical top-rope route of the crag! A classic. It was trundled and retro-bolted in 2011. This is the leftmost route in the belay gully on a dead vertical face. Start up a left-trending ramp for several bolts, get over some big ledge syndrome, and step out right and up to a face crux. Pull through some juggy, airy overhangs up high. Slap a hand over the very top of the dike near a resilient pinyon and clip the anchor. Protection: This is the leftmost route in the belay gully. Look for a left-trending ramp-dihedral. It is directly under the tree at the top of the crag.
