About

Seduction of Gravity is a sport climbing route located in Ouray, Colorado, on the Western Slope. The climb takes place at an elevation of 6502 feet, with the database listing it as difficult. The route is approximately 50 feet long and features steep, juggy terrain. It begins by ascending a small ramp that angles to the right, positioned directly above a spring emerging from the rock face. Climbers start to the right of a lone tree and near Lap Route, looking for two black top anchors. The route was first ascended by Jason Nelson, who bolted it while leading and using a self-belay system. Protection consists of nine quickdraws for the bolts, with additional gear options for the two top anchors. The area provides shade, making it a comfortable option during warmer weather. Parking is available at the site, and the location is pet-friendly.
