Gazebo Wall

Colorado > CO Ice & Mixed > Ouray (Ice/Mixed) > Uncompahgre Gorge aka…

Description

This is a subarea created for better organization. It will include routes in the area closest to town in the vicinity of an old gazebo. Obviously, with an ice park, the routes will vary with spigot proliferation.

For the time being, these routes will include: Picnic to Two Drunk Overlook.

This area is the lowest, thus the warmest, and tends to be an iffy prospect with Colorado sunshine and mild temperatures.

Getting There

Hike up to the ice park, or drive and park. It's probably best to walk from town if you're going to climb this area only. If you go to the parking area for the ice park, then go a significant way downhill from the lower bridge on the western side/far side of the gorge. The best identifying feature is the wooden gazebo near the top of this area.

Per Anus Herder: some folks will rappel down or be lowered in to climb these routes, but it is recommended by the Ice Park to access the climbs from below after setting them up from above. There is a easy 'Via Ferrata' off the ice park side of the 3rd St. bridge. This is an easy walk to access all routes.

Some of these routes haven't been in since the '90s and some since the early 2000s. An effort to remake/expand the park into this are is new for the '22/'23 ice season.
