looking for a climbing spot!
|
Hey everybody! My name is Claire and I will be coming into Denver and hanging out from Sept 13-16, and I was hoping to get some advice on where might be the best place for me to get some climbs in. I will be carless, so I'm looking for something relatively close to town or within bus distance... |

Try North Table Mountain in Golden. |
|
Or you can get a ride to the Sympathy for the Devil campout in Devil's Head that weekend and climb with any number of people that will be there. It's just up in the foothills by Castle Rock. |
|
The public bus runs from downtown Boulder to Nederland, it has various stops in the canyon. If you just got off at the falls (a major visitor stop), you'd be within reach of a lot of interesting crags. |

There's a lot of good urban Bouldering in downtown denver. I highly recommend an area called 5-Points, ask around for Spider. Tell him that you're psyched to be in town. He's got all the good beta. |

North table would be way hot and greasy but full of amazing short faces and cracks....devil's head ,could be committing as far as partners go, they may be difficult and or psychotic,etc. Once you car pool out it may be hard to retreat.boulder canyon and its buses seem like an all around good option....but a little further from Denver. Clear creek is probably the most logical, proximity and stylewise for Denver.........there r a lot of options to get off the beaten path as Well.let me know if you want to get out... |

There is a big gathering at Devil's Head: so while it is not bus friendly at all, rides and partners could be had pretty easily that weekend, as the other Tim said. |
