Hey,
Any ideas on an area in the Front Range where I can hike in a bit (1-5 miles), camp (with a tent), and then climb something? Preferably multi-pitch trad?

Lone Eagle Peak, but I don't know about camping with a tent, you can bivy though. Otherwise, south platte or devils head.

Just a note you'll need camping permits in the Indian Peaks during the summer months.

Mccurdy Park Tower. Hike is about 6 miles, there's water and there's climbing. Mostly easy climbs. It's in the Lost Creek Wilderness.

pitch a tent in your backyard then wake up and climb a flatiron. Done.

I'd go bivy in RMNP and climb a moderate. Bivy is as good as a tent if not better!

There are significant benefits to a tent when going on an adventure with a lady!

Awesome suggestion. Definitely what I was looking for, I'll have to take a look at the permit and tent issue.
