There are quite a few. But in the summer when it gets into the upper 90's - low 100's, you'll want to travel to Maple Canyon or the Uintas. There are far more sport routes at both. Maple is a bit cooler (it's about 1500' higher than BCC areas) and easier to follow the shade. The routes in the Uintas are at 10,000+ feet, so always pleasantly cool. Another option for when it's too hot in BCC/LCC is to head up to Alta - bunches of routes on the Hellgate Cliffs and up by Cecret Lake. You'll have to wait for significant melting for the latter - right now on skis your belly button is at the same level as the 5th bolt on an 8 bolt route.
