What is the best climbing near Denver around March? I’m going out for my grandpas 85th and I want to get on real rock since I live in the Midwest and it’s too cold to climb on anything other than plastic. Bouldering or sport climbing

Yes.


But more concretely, depends on weather, transport, grades, and type of climbing you want to do.

North Table Mountain is warm and has easy access. Anything south-facing in Boulder Canyon works: Plotinus, Wall of Winter Warmth, Rivera, Bihedrals, Happy Hour are all good bets.

Of course, March is the snowiest month so you could do a grand tour of all the gyms in the area if the snow flies.

Climb safe,

Clear Creek Canyon is the best sport climbing closest to Denver. I've been climbing there all but a couple weekends this winter. South facing crags are good into the 30's. Highwire, catslab, creekside, east colfax, dog house, other critters to name a few.

Weather here is a crap shoot in March. Could be 60 degrees and sunny or could have 3 feet of snow and 5 degrees...

Endless options on climbing areas

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
