I'm going to be in Telluride next weekend for the bluegrass festival, and am looking to get out on some rock in the morning.
Any recommendations on crags we can access quickly for a few pitches before returning to the festival? Any crags where you could actually hear music when climbing?
There is some decent bouldering next to the mine - if you just drive up the road through town past the mine (toward the parking for the Via Ferratta), there are big conglomerate boulders a few hundred yards up the dirt road on the right. You can pretty much park right next to them - there are maybe a few dozen problems of varying quality but overall the rock is pretty good and you can be there and back in an hour if you want. We climbed there last year during the festival and it was great. There's a guidebook for the area - I think we picked one up in town somewhere.
