About

The Undercling Traverse is a moderate rock climbing route in the Telluride area of the Western Slope. The database lists the elevation at 9,984 feet, while web sources cite 6,850 feet for this specific route and 5,791 feet for the broader 'Traverse' designation. The route is accessible year-round and typically requires around four hours to complete. Practical amenities include available parking and pet-friendly conditions. The climb involves traversing a horizontal or slightly inclined path, which may expose climbers to drops below.

Access is subject to local conditions, including potential fire evacuations or private land restrictions in the wider Telluride climbing region.
