About

Seamline is a single-pitch trad climb located on the left side of the diamond-shaped Slab of Despair in Ouray, Colorado. The route rises 55 feet, trending up and left past thin moves before following a prominent seam up and right to the top. Protection requires a set of cams ranging from small Aliens to #2 Camalots, two bolts, and a ring and chain rap anchor, or climbers can walk off. The climb is classified as moderate difficulty. Parking is available on site, and the area is pet friendly. The location is accessible year-round, though local fire evacuations may apply.
