Misc. Ouray CLIMBING Videos and Images

John Smith, upstream end of the catwalk above the school house area. At the beginning of the catwalk is where you will find the %#%# ladder down to the rope that leads to the bottom. Going down this %$%$# ladder with crampons and a loaded pack with climbing gear is effin scary. Going up this thing, at the end of a long day running laps, in crampons and a loaded pack with climbing gear is effin scary. Notice the sign they have at the top......

Climb down the death ladder or walk to the end and walk down using a knotted rope the whole way down.
Unknown climber climbing alone at the start of the catwalk next to the ladder. He is climbing on an USHBA ascender.

View of graduate School from end of the school room catwalk. Notice how steep it is at the bottom. That is about 45meters.







John Smith at the lounge. The western most beginning of the Southpark area in Ouray!

Same area with Sir John Oster takin a lap. John is climbing on mis-matched ice tools and BD sabertooth crampons. Awesome.
