About
The Unknown is a short, 50-foot sport climbing route located near Durango, Colorado. The route features a hard crux positioned between the first and second bolts, followed by technical thin climbing toward the top. It is described as solid rock that is somewhat dirty but expected to clean up with increased traffic. The route is situated on the far right side of the climbing face, immediately to the right of a route named Black Keys. Protection consists of six bolts leading to an anchor, with the option to extend up to the anchor of Black Keys for lowering. The area is pet-friendly and offers parking. While specific elevation data varies slightly between sources (6,913 ft vs. 6,620 ft), the climbing is rated as moderate difficulty and is accessible year-round.
