Going on a ski trip to Aspen the second week of March and am looking to get a little bit of climbing in. This will be my first time climbing in Colorado and I am trying to figure out where to go. I lead 5.8 trad and 5.10a/b sport. Any recommendations?

Thanks MP

Oi. Same boat for the past month. During winter, it seems the locals all head to New Castle/Elk Creek area, Rifle, GJ, or the desert. Most people I've asked recommended the New Castle crags due to south facing aspects. The Narrows S of Carbondale appeared pretty dry last weekend but March might bring more snow.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
