Anyone know of any multi pitch sport routes in RMNP that are less than 5.12's? Thanks a ton I really appreciate it, I know I need to get the book and clicking through every area was becoming tedious. Thanks.
I'm curious to see some of the responses. As to the question, I can't think of anything at that grade that doesn't require at least some supplemental gear. Something like Birds of Fire would probably be your best bet, but I wouldn't exactly call it a "sport" route.

Nothing really IN the park.
I wouldn't recommend Birds of Fire if you are a 5.10 climber.
Try Macgregor's Slab, for moderate bolted/mixed lines.
The Pear at Lumpy has a few. Root of all Evil is a fun 5.9, but it does take gear to get there, as it is a pitch up.
Combat Rock
The Monastary is a good clippin bolt time!!
There is a newer route on Mary's Bust that Gillette just put up that is 5.10 The Brown Palace it is called, right side of the cliff. There a also a quite a few others in that area.

Ah mountain project.........
To each their own.
Have fun climbing Mushmouse this 5.11R sport climb 7 miles in the park, you'll be clipping bolts the whole way!!!
Yeah. Heck, just a sport route. After the four hour approach to 12,000 feet. Just clip away. The fun part is trying to find the first bolt of the pitch when leaving the belay. The really fun part is trying to find the second bolt which is hard to find until you are ten or fifteen feet out from the first bolt.

BOF is great and you do need to be able to place pro well, route find, and do some decent runouts as it's not a pure 'sport route'...that would be a sandbag...
