I'll be staying at Colorado Springs from Sept 2 thru 7, flying in to/from Denver. Can anyone recommend bouldering places? Since I'll be going with a couple of non-climber friends, I thought I just bring a crash pad. However, if anyone would like to partner up for climbing or bouldering, please pm me by sept. 1. I boulder, trad, sport climb. Lead moderate ratings, depends on what type of problems. Boulder about V1-V2 occasionally V3 if the rating is soft :wink:, trad lead 5.8/9 and sport lead 10's to low 11. angelina

Lots of great Trad around CO Sprngs, as for bouldering not to sure. I would try Eleven Mile Canyon, some of my first climbing experiences were there. I remember lg boulders in & around the river throughout the canyon. Good stuff. Also try Turret Dome picnic area. Garden of the Gods is worth a shot as well. I remeber they are strict there though. Also Woodland Park. Good luck!

thanks, stompie. i'll check those places. when you said, garden of gods was strict, what do you mean? no visible chalk, adventure pass required, no going off trails?

Garden of the Gods has some good bouldering and the Ute Pass Boulders are worth a trip, as well. There is also some decent bouldering at the base of Sheep's Nose (in the South Platte)--not sure how/if the Hayman fire affected those.

visible chalk and other visual impact, certain color slings & painted bolts? but since you just want to boulder, shouldn't be a problem.
