Hi all,

I will be in RMNP the first week of August and am looking for the best single pitch sport and trad climbing in the general vicinity. We can travel a couple hours to get to location and are basing out of the park. Thanks in advance!

Check out Rock of Ages. Depending on how hard you want to go, many, many great looking lines!

Dang that looks sick Eric. Is there anything easier nearby for some people that climb 5.8-10?

Thanks for asking the question I was going to ask just a couple hours before me, Jon!
I'll be in for a week leading a group of low- to mid-experience climbers. While I have no problem leading trad or sport routes, I too am going to be sticking to single pitches (I have only multi-pitched once, and not with anyone in my group I'm bringing.) Looking forward to hearing more information, if anyone can answer : )

Lily Lake has some good stuff in a more sane/normal difficulty range. Have fun!

The Twin Owls at Lumpy Ridge has some easy/moderates (Pin Route 5.4, Sky Top 5.8, Rooster Tail 5.9+, Cackle Crack 5.8). Its a lung buster getting up there, but not bad. Lily Lake (towards Long's Peak Trailhead from Estes) has all sorts of climbs with an easy approach, good for beginners.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
