As far as I know, the only real grade IV's in Colorado are in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison or RMNP (not really grade IV but grade III with longish approaches). So if you really want an honest grade IV your only choice in Colorado is the Black. That would make the Russian Arete or the Scenic Cruise your best choice. Are you ready for some adventure?
I don't think Nicaraguan Nut butter verges on grade IV by any stretch of the imagination... On a separate note, a link up of The Prow on Kit Carson and Ellingwood Arete on The Needle in The Crestones makes a fabulous Grade IV outing...
