Best Multi-Pitch Sport Routes in North America

Here's my vote for best at the grade along the Denver Metro Front Range: |
|
This simple route has always stuck with me. 1000ft sport climb, which left an impression early in my climbing career. |
|
I liked mountainproject.com/v/playi… down in Clear Creek Canyon. |
|
For pure epicness, Timewave Zero at El Potrero Chico gets my vote. 2300' of climbing, all you need is ~22 draws (if linking pitches). Amazing views; to top it off, you've got about 2 hours of rapping to deal with! |

For a day out in a beautiful setting and fun face climbing you can't beat this: |

Granted I may have missed a bolt, but so did the four guys behind me. But most of it is fairly well bolted. Just know that there are some easier moves where if you fall, well, lets say I hope you have health insurance. Also, there is some serious rock fall on that thing once and awhile. A party 1500' above us dislodged a rock which ended up bringing a landslide down on me and another party. Out of four people, I was the only one that did not get hit by the rock fall. I was astonished no one was seriously injured, the rock fall was serious enough to wipe all four of us off the the grid. We were lucky that were in a small alcove, so a lot of the rock flew a few feet over our heads. None, the less it was a fun route. Just don't approach it as a sport climb, as it is not.I believe you're talking about pitches 14 & 15 or either 15 & 16. From what I recall those were pretty close to 4th class scrambling for those sections. I have a great topo for the whole route that my friend and I made that actually has really easy-to-follow directions. I'll try to find it when I get home and see what I can do to upload it on here. In response to the person who said you have to rap it and it sucks. While I agree that it does absoultely suck to rap the whole 23 pitches, did it once, it's actually possible to walk off the top. It's a bit tricky to figure out at first when you're up there but if you hunt around a bit at the top you can find a pretty simple walkoff that goes down sort of climber's right. |
