Gumby Paradise?

Where in the Goulder (Golden/Boulder for those who don't habla) area could two rusty gumby's go to rage on some sick 5.6 - 5.8b sport routes? We're looking for a high concentration of bad-ass clip ups to get maximum mileage on top-rope...disaster style of course!

Would rather pull stone than plastic. Sport Park?

Asante!

You could try Table Mountain/Golden Cliffs. Just be careful of some of the 5.7s...some are pretty run-out. I think the 5.8s there are a little easier (probably because they're better protected).

Later on this year, once Rampart Range Rd. is opened, look for the revised Devils Head guidebook (not out yet). In it will be the Training Grounds wall which has 4 routes side by side from 5.6 to 5.8, and you can tr variations from the anchors. From there it wouldn't be too much of a leap to get up the tons of 8's, 9's and 10's in the same vicinity.

I'd agree with that. There are some good 5.8s there that aren't intimidating at all.
