About

Welcome To The Jungle is a sport climbing route located in the Ramparts Range area of Palisade, Colorado, on the Western Slope. The route is classified as difficult and typically takes about five hours to complete. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 7,639 feet. Access involves following slabs and rails to a fairly large ledge, where two cold shut anchors mark the top for lowering. The route consists of nine bolts for protection. Parking is available on-site, and pets are permitted. The climbing season extends year-round from January through December, though winter conditions may require additional precautions. A specific access issue notes that Ramparts Range Road is closed starting December 1, and certain crags within the area may have raptor protection closures from March 1 through July 31, although the majority of crags remain unaffected.
