Softest 5.13 in Colorado

I'm hoping to feel the best about my climbic with the least amount of effort possible.

so it doesn't need to be a "real" 13, just get that label? Sadly, the once proud SLV has gained at least a few 5.12 kinda 5.13s in the last few years. 35', less than vert with a V4 crux, sounds like 5.13 to me huh? Ego is king to some folks with a bolt gun. Go get some easy points!

Probably somewhere in clear creek canyon

Sonic Youth CCC :)

VARMENT, you should be taunted mercilessly and I will do so next time we go climbing together. Please know that the taunting has nothing to do with your post, I just think you should be taunted.

Not by a long shot, at least not in the post crux-hold-breakage state.

To the OP, if you are a decent boulderer, I'd just find a short route in Bocan, CCC (primo?), soft or otherwise. It won't take too much effort. If you are a good boulderer, just do Pen 15 (it's essentially a 2 move boulder problem right off the bat & keeps easing up to the anchor). Otherwise, Ultrasaurus is soft (there are plenty others), though since it's longer, may still end up taking some effort.

I would suggest anything I did the first ascent of! :)

- Tiger's Woody at the East Quarry of Table Mountain
- Finger Prince at Wall of Justice in CCC
- Buster Brown at Dudes Throne
- Those Who Crank and Those Who Wank at Devils Head

All of them are great routes nonetheless!

I though Finger Prince was pretty difficult and painful but I'm not a crack climber so idk

Climb some hard 12d's or 12e's instead!

The Wasp

Whatever one a girl recently climbed?

Obviously the Beast and Pump O rama, though I don't know if that counts as Colorado to people living in the bubble.

The softest one will be your first, regardless of grade or location. Then you can focus on downgrading other peoples accomplishments, the true point of getting better at climbing.

the goal is to feel strong without actually climbing strong ;)

Slash grades stroke the ego a bit.

I thought he said soft... Not stout .
Am I missing the sarcasm somewhere ?

No doubt. Or, he's never been on the rig.
