I'm assuming CCC is the only thing that is both dry enough to climb and open to climbing right now. I'm open to other places as well if people are interested. PM me.

Of of curiosity, what are the conditions of the canyon itself? I know Bocan was sliding quite a bit. Are the walls/rock above settled at all?

There has been a fair bit of earth moving in the canyon, and there's likely to be more as water continues to percolate through the soils.

I honestly have no idea what the conditions are up there. I just figured Boulder is out of commission and I heard Golden didn't get it nearly as bad. Hoping CCC is good to go...

My girlfriend and I were thinking of driving up and checking out CCC today. We are hoping some of the more moderate/stable routes should be OK. Maybe high wire or possibly Conspiracy/east Colfax since it seems like the further away from the front range you get the drier it has been. I will post conditions when we get back

I climbed at Highwire this past Saturday and it was pretty good. All the moderates were dry by mid-day, but the steeper routes with roof features were still pretty wet. I'd imagine by now it's all pretty dry. Just keep a heads up for loose rock/rock fall and you should have a good time.

Creekside mostly dry today Capitalist sort of mostly dry yesterday Highlander wet saturday but looked good today Highwire still has some seeps, but easier lines looked ok Sonic youth looked dry, but river is high River wall looked wet Little eiger looked mostly dry Anarchy wet Wall of the 90s very wet Mission looked mostly dry, but getting there is problematic with the water high and the ledges wet and muddy Dog house looks dry Several parties on Cat slab Canal zone looked ok The river looks like spring runoff levels. Saw a raft in the lower section this afternoon. Have fun. There is some loose rock. But fortunately the bolts weren't washed loose like in Eldo :-)

Was just on Little Eiger, and it was mostly dry. Approach and trail at the base are good, although I thought the trail in front of the far right climb was pretty soft and probably smaller than it was--bring pro to anchor in there. Cat slab is good. High wire and Red slabs are dry

Climbed at Canal Zone yesterday. The area was quite muddy, but the routes were (mostly) dry. The small amount of water on the routes was easily avoidable.
