Area	Description

*Camp Bird Mine Road*
	Up the road from the Climbing Park, the SkyLight area offers excellent lead climbing with easy access. Routes range from one pitch to two pitches in the Skylight area to six pitches on Birdbrain Boulevard. - WI-3 to M6
*Ouray Ice Park*
	This is one of the most popular ice climbing areas in the nation if not the world. The area has easy access, TR anchors, and plenty of lead climbs as well.
*Ouray South*
	Several climbs along the road or just across the canyon. There are a couple of great lines here, Bear Creek can be climbed most of the year. Horsetail Falls is one of the best climbs on Red Mountain, and Gravity's Rainbow can test your nerve.
*Silverton*
	This historic mining town, 50 miles north of Durango, is impossibly, wonderfully, dead in the winter. One the train stops running, the tourists stop coming and the avalanches start running on Red Mountain Pass, Silverton turns into a terrific place to visit. Since 1997, a few hotels have stayed open all year, including the Teller House, the Triangle Motel and Smedley's B&B. If you need nightlife, better stay in Durango or (gasp!) Ouray. There are two major areas to climb around Silverton; South Mineral Creek to the west of town, and Eureka, to the northeast. Both of these areas are early season areas. Once the snow really starts to fall, the avalanches begin to run and the roads get shut down. Once they're shut, you're looking at a five mile ski through HUGE avalanche zones. Better to hang up your tools and go skiing on the pass. (From http://www.climbingboulder.com)
*Telluride*
	Telluride has some of the gnarliest skiing on the planet but also boasts some of the sportiest ice climbing in the US. Hardman routes like Ames Ice Hose and Bridalveil Falls are area classics. Many lesser routes offer incredible climbing. Areas around Ames, Sawpit, Mountain Village and Ophir offer hundreds of routes.
