Description Suggest change

While Steamboat Springs remains known for its wealth of ski slopes it also contains some decent cliffs that while short are quality.

I wouldn't plan on climbing during the winter.

Getting There Suggest change

Northwestern Colorado, I wouldn't travel here just to climb but that's just me.
