My friend and I are planning a trip down to Denver in mid-April to climb. I was wondering about snow melt and weather this time of year in the Flatirons/Rifle, or just anywhere near Denver. Is it warm enough to climb or should I head somewhere warmer to climb?
Unless it's actively snowing, April will be rad in the Denver area. It looks like you're psyched on moderate trad and sport -- you could spend a lifetime between 5.6 and 5.10b that time of year in Eldo, Flatirons, Boulder Canyon, Clear Creek and never drive more than 30 mins a day.
