My girlfriend and I are headed to Steamboat Springs this weekend for a half marathon she's running on Sunday, but we'll be there all day Saturday as well, looking for fun stuff to do. I did a quick search and didn't find anything overwhelming around as far as climbing is there anything really fun that we should do Saturday (preferably trad up to mid-5.10, or else super-fun sport up to high 5.11), or should we focus on non-climbing activities for a fun day? I was looking at The Needle Fat Lip or NW Face as possibilities, based on the "classic climbs" listed for Steamboat Springs on here. Any input/advice is appreciated (including other activities, restaurants, etc.). Thanks!
The Ski Haus has a small, neon pink guidebook that has most of the area routes, and they employees are friendly and generally knowledgable about the routes. It's a cool gear shop too. With that said, flipping through the neon pink guidebook was enough to convince me not to bother with the climbing there. I actually go up there to run a race or two every summer (I'm going for a race on the 23rd of this month.)
I would recommend checking out Strawberry Hot Springs on Saturday. It's a good spot to soak before (and after) a race. Beyond that, check out fish creek falls. And there's probably enough to do in town to keep you busy for a day. Fun place.
