For a Few Quickdraws More offers a sharp, engaging climb that combines thoughtful movement with a rewardingly bold finish. Situated on the Waterfall Wall near Ouray, Colorado, this single-pitch sport route pulls you into a dynamic sequence that demands attention right from the start. The initial crux tests your precision and balance before easing into a rhythm of enjoyable climbing on solid rock. Lichen patches color the stone, hinting at its quieter days, though steady traffic has already worked to clear many of these natural hold coatings. The route finishes with an exciting overhung section that challenges your endurance and composure, providing one last surge of adrenaline before the anchors beckon.

The approach to this climb is straightforward, placing you in a comfortable spot within the vibrant Ouray climbing community. At 85 feet in length, it’s long enough to feel meaningful without taxing your stamina, making it an accessible option for those ready to sharpen their sport lead skills. A string of roughly eight bolts leads the way, spaced generously but thoughtfully, ensuring safe, confident clipping while allowing for a fluid rhythm up the wall. The shared two-bolt anchor with the adjacent Hang ’em High route makes for an efficient descent and easy transitions.

Expect a rock type typical of this region—solid and mostly friction-friendly, but with enough texture to hold your attention through every move. The lichen, while presenting a slight obstacle early on, tends to vanish with regular passage, leaving a clean, sometimes chalk-marked pathway. Waterfall Wall’s exposure invites cooling breezes and offers a view beyond the immediate climbing facade, connecting solvers of the route to a broader landscape of soaring cliffs and alpine wilderness.

Planning your climb during mid-morning to early afternoon maximizes your comfort, as the wall leans southeast allowing morning sun to warm the rock but offering shade later in the day. This spot is ideal in spring through early fall when weather conditions favor dry rock and stable temperatures. Bring shoes with good edge control to handle the technical start, and ensure your quickdraws are set for dynamic clipping on the overhung finish.

Getting here is part of the experience. The approach trail is short and well-kept, guiding you through scrubby brush and rocky steps that hint at the ruggedness beyond. It’s a quick approach, generally under 10 minutes from the nearest parking area, but conditions can change with rain or snow, so prepare accordingly. Parking in Ouray provides access not only to this climb but a network of nearby walls, making it a great launching point if you choose to explore further.

For a Few Quickdraws More is an inviting challenge for sport climbers seeking a blend of precise technique and bold movement, with a manageable length and accessible location. It’s a solid training ground for those building confidence on Sport 5.8 routes, or for visitor climbers eager to experience Ouray’s rock quality without committing to multi-pitch routes. Whether you’re brushing up on your clipping speed or chasing that last pump before the anchor, this climb offers moments to focus, flow, and feel the sharp clarity of rock beneath your fingertips.
