About
The Bellows is a trad climbing site located near Durango, Colorado. The primary route consists of an obvious sloping slab leading to a corner. It is approximately 40 feet high and was first ascended by Byrd and Norton in 1974. The site is rated easy, making it suitable for beginners or climbers looking to practice slab techniques. Parking is available at the site, and pets are permitted. A wildlife closure restricts access from December 1 to April 15, so climbers should verify conditions during winter months. The elevation is 6,959 feet.
