breaking into the 11s....finally.

What are some of your favorite 5.11s on the front range?

Also multi pitch....that stuff is fun what are your favorite bolted multi pitches along the front range?...did peoples choice in clear creek and might have an addiction.

PS please give me a hard time about how i only need to project 5.14s

Its not the front range. But my favorite 11 by far:

Then there is Orange Crush, Blob Rock. I hear free willie is stellar at animal world. Jules Verne in Eldo.

And I am rather fond of Alfa Chick at The Sports Park > Clock Tower. But that one probably isn't worth it to go there for that climb. It just has some nostalgia.

Then there is The Joker, The Riddler and Elanor at Easter Rock.

As for bolted multipitch, there is a 5.9 called The Young and The Rackless at Blob rock.

Really, you should go to Easter Rock, Blob rock(BoCan) and the Highlander(CCC) and get your hardman on.

So he's breaking into 11a sport....... and you suggest this??? F*#king brilliant.

edanner, go to Devil's Head while it is still hot out, lot's of good sport 11's up there. Search the 3 & 4 star routes there and have a blast, Wishbone Dihedral, Dave's Dilemma and C++ are all really good. When the weather cools off head down to Shelf Road.

I would agree Glenn..JV is a great climb, but rather harsh intro to 5.11 I'd say

I had a good laugh at the Jules Verne recommendation. For multi-pitch sport, check out the following:

Fire on the Mountain

This get's .10d but the opening moves are tricky and the 3rd pitch is exciting for the grade. A good day is doing this route along with several routes at Chicken Head Ranch (includes Glenn's recommendation for Wishbone Dihedral)

The Brown Palace

Awesome climb and several other good 11- routes here.

Upper Dream canyon has great bolted multi pitch 5.11's. Tales of Power,Strange Cargo and Divination are great routes.

I didn't really think about that when I was typing it out. Its a bad suggestion. I was thinking of favorite 11s.

Mission Wall has some fun lines in Clear Creek, and I really like Creekafixion.
