i have a month off during the summer of 2007. i will be off in either july or september. i live near yosemite and i don't know too much about the colorado/wyoming area, but that is where i am planning to head. i definitely want to hit the tetons and devils tower, and if it works out, back to city of rocks or down to indian creek. i was wondering if some of you locals might have some suggestions on some climbing areas off the beaten path? somebody recomdend something called south platte (i think?) in colorado. i'm looking primarily for trad, anwhere from 5.7 to 11a/b. longish (10 pitches or so) moderates are my favorite. thanks for any input guys. :) amy

 Hey, Check out Harmels Taylor Canyon Rock Climbing. There is a brief description of the routes. Definately off the beaten path. Pitches up to three or four at the most. Three pitch sport climb in the area. The place is never really buisy. It's great. I go climbing there quite a bit up to 5.13 trad. Lots of sport too. Then their is Hartmans rocks. Then there is the Black Canyon about an hour away. Just as comparable to Yosem. Probabaly more dangerous do to the inevitable hike out or unplaned bivy in your rope bag if you can't complete the climb. Always looking for climbing partners and love to show you around if your this way. I have a friend that guides in Utah, look up castle valley, onion creek. All this is with in four hours of where I live in Gunnison County, 1 hr from the Black Canyon and 20 min from Crested Butte Ski Resort. Anyhow , I have some connections in the Tetons as well, park service etc... There is also great alpine routes in the San Juans, Telluride/Ouray Area. About two hrs. from Gunnison. Good Luck and Safe TravelsIn reply to: . Look me up..Later.

All of Wyoming is off the beaten path except the Tetons and Devils Tower. West of Casper is Fremont Canyon. A crowded day is two other people climbing. The Rattlesnakes are also west and seldom visited and there is a lot of granite. Have fun, maybe we'll see each other.
