I want to climb sport routes in the 10-12a range. Any suggestions for a concentrated crag in independence pass?

Olympic Wall

I agree, Olympic Wall is worth the hike. Also, Greg's Cliff. It has some fantastic 5.11 sport routes, including an amazing 11a called Baba Fats.

If you're closer to the Twin Lakes side Monitor Rock has tons in that range. More in the guidebook than on this site. However, from the Aspen side Olympic Wall is sweet!

Difficult East (if we get a warm spell...it's north facing) has several (Mona Liza) great routes. Game Wall (Truth - Horseshoes & Hand Grenades), Second Grotto Wall... Outrageous Overhangs (Walk in Central Park), Thindependance... Olympic...Lincoln Creek Area... I'd be happy to provide more detail. the pass is a great area in general and especially in this range. please feel free to contact me directly.

check out independencepassrockclimbin…
there are a bunch of new routes posted here that aren't in the guide book.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
