About
Waiting Line is a fully bolted drytool climbing route located in Niagara Gulch, near Silverton, Colorado. Situated approximately one-quarter of the way up the approach to the Whorehouse Hoses route, it sits next to a snow and talus ramp entering from the right. The route features a pumpy start that moves under an easy roof, traverses left, and then climbs straight up a corner before reaching the face. While tool placements are limited, the pockets provide solid holds. The area is pet-friendly and offers available parking. Climbers should be prepared for variable conditions, including potential snow or ice during winter months.
