I am looking to climb a multipitch sport route with 2-3 pitches and in the 9/10 range. Mostly been looking at the greater Boulder area. Any suggestions?

2nd for Mary's Bust. Thats a pretty cool crag with some interesting sport climbing. Recommended.

I know you are looking for 2-3 pitch routes but Royal Flush, Mt Royal in Frisco is a great all bolted 5.9 route at around 6-9 pitches and 1,500 ft!

Contact on Solaris is a cool 5.9 with two pitches, but I'd better done as one long pitch. Buried treasure is also really cool and another 5.9 that's two pitches with the possibility of a third pitch at 5.10a. Clear creek canyon I think also has some multi pitch sport routes

People's choice- High wire crag - Clear Creek Canyon, Great 10.c/d with a short crux and a killer 5.9 overhanging dihedral second pitch!

Bring some hand sized pieces for one (albeit short) run-out on one of the higher pitches and for the last belay right before the summit.

Royal Flush involves one pitch of decent 5.9 climbing, and countless boring 4th class and 5.0 pitches. You climb multiple formations, with some walking in between. I found the route extremely uninspiring and a huge waste of time, although to a new leader it may be ok. I second the People's Choice recommendation - a good fun route that actually involves climbing not walking. If you feel like a drive or find yourself in the Buena Vista area, check out D3 - a climb designed for beginning multipitch leaders like Royal Flush. It's all bolted, with lots of real climbing, although it does have a full rope length traverse pitch across a ledge system.

Playin' Hooky in Clear Creek, great 3-pitch 5.9!

If you are willing to go down to Devils's Head, Lost In the Jungle, Jungle Mountaineering, and Fire on the Mountain are all pretty stellar.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
