Winter climbing near Denver - where to start?
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2010 11:27 pm
I have a new hookup in Denver, so flying out to the Front Range for a long weekend will happen at least once this winter.
Where do I start? I prefer moderate technical climbing - long routes, usually. Where's a good place for huge snow/ice climbs up to WI3 (maybe a little WI4, just not pitch after pitch)? Is avy danger the overriding concern when picking a route? Where are the avy forecast resources?
thanks,
-Phil
