Long, Easy climbs
|
What are some good long (grade 3) easy (4th and easy 5th) climbs around Boulder that I can do with my wife while we're in town? We'll be there the first week of January. I know about the Flatirons, but what about something more remote. Points are given for aesthetics too. |

Long easy remote stuff is most likely going to be snow covered the first week of January. |

A few options for Eldo once the snow melts off: |

The 1st Flatiron. |

Good free hanging rap off the back, too.+1 Location-wise, it's not remote (you're basically right above Boulder), but the hike keeps most people away. I've climbed it a few times during peak season and never seen anybody else. |

When I climbed Seal Rock, there were many parties on it and the rap caused an hour+ gumbie clusterf*ck traffic jam. It is a really good flatirons route, but it still sees tons of traffic. |
