I am looking for some suggestions on Quick and Easy approaches in the Colorado Front Range area for this week while the weather is nice.

Sport and/or Trad up to .11+

The quicker and easier the approach the better.

Thanks.

The sport wall is really quick. Low in the canyon, approach takes about 5 min. with only a short uphill part. Gets good winter sun too.

There are only a few places with easier approach than Mary's Bust:

It is all well bolted sport. Single pitch as well as a great 6 pitch route (5.9 - 5.11a).

Head up (or down) Big Thompson Canyon.
Park at mile marker 73.
The trail head is about 150 yards west of mile marker 73, and it is marked with cairn.
Walk up the hill... it's a rather steep trail, but only takes 5 minutes.

Clear Creek Canyon
-Sport Wall
-Wall of 90s
-Highwire (mid/late day sun)

All of North Table Mountain except for the seldom visited North side.

Eldorado
-Redgarden
-Wind Tower, especially this week
-Rincon/West Ridge (bit of an approach but loads of sun)

BC
-Sport park, and a bunch of other crags (not a frequented area for me)

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.

Colorado
