From the midwest looking to make my 1st winter climbing trip to Colorado late February. Anyone care to offer up some places with good 5.6-5.9 / WI3-5 long routes, possibly summit top outs? I would greatly appreciate it!

Check out the Ouray Ice Park, Eric:

Easily accessible from town, great top rope anchors, and some longer backcountry routes in the area. Also should be an easy spot to find a partner :-)

I'll be an hour away in Telluride Feb 1-7; how flexible are your travel plans?

^^^Reading comprehension FAIL.

Eric, if you do end up coming to Ouray, put this climb on your ticklist: mountainproject.com/v/bird-…

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
