Another which route post...
Im looking for single pitch trad crags in the 9+-11a region along the front range. Ive done two 5.10 trad routes so far and just trying to push it. I know about the south platte, its a little far. Im looking for the best single pitch trad routes between Golden and Estes.
Fingers to Offwidth. Doesnt matter.
Thanks.

Positively 4th street is probably Eldo's softest 10a, it's also extremely easy to sew up!

The Naked Edge 11a (also in Eldo) is an uber classic. It could maybe be done in one pitch with a 200 meter rope.

Yeah, definitely hit up West Ridge and Rincon at Eldo... Tons of well-protected single pitch routes in 9+->11a range to check out:

-Positively Fourth Street
-P1 of Pony Express
-Chockstone
-Xanadu
-White Lightening
-Five Ten Crack
-P1 of Rincon (all the way to the bolted anchors, nice long pitch then 2 raps)
-Over the Hill (2 pitches but you HAVE to do it! uber classic)

Have fun, those are all amazing routes

Your in the front range? Climb 5.10+ or 11-? Go to Eldo! Do all, or as many of the routes in the link (within your ability) as you can, they're all amazing.

Positively 4th st is a solid .9 id say super fun, go up the hill a bit and climb xanadu.

Go to the Book at Lumpy. Can do long pitches up to the pin and stopper fixed anchor on Pear Buttress and rap off. Can do Pear Buttress, Loose Ends (amazing), Stretch Marks, Toot, and Thindapendance. An amazing day of cracks from 5.8 to 5.11a

Yea good idea. I'll just pull out the old 200m and do it. Nice.
Other than that sounds like eldo is the consensus so I will look into that.
Thanks.

+1 for Rincon, you can hit up the first pitch of the namesake route 5.9, Over the Hill 5.10, Center Route 5.11-, Climb of the Century 5.11, and whatever the 10 something is to the right of Rincon. Awesome crag.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
