I'm looking for some multi pitch trad suggestions in the 7ish (plus or minus a grade) range within 2hrs of Denver that doesn't have snow and ice on it for Sunday. Taller the better. Thanks in advance for folk pointing me to something.

South facing stuff in Eldo will ore than likely be good to go. Just make sure you pick lines that you can rap off or be sure the descent is clear before you head up!

Find something facing the sun in the south platte area. depending on your location in denver, vedauwoo, wy has some decent multipitches, specifically edward's crack, and I was there the other day, most places are dry as a bone. If you are just looking to practice multipitch technique, Lookout mountain in golden is my favorite crag in the denver area.

Rewritten in Eldo Canyon, Redgarden wall

Staunton is mostly south facing. Several of the walls there have easy multi pitch trad.

Anywhere in Eleven Mile Canyon. I spent the last two weekends up there. Place to ourselves. Plenty of 5.7ish, but one of the most fun routes ive climbed is the staitcase 5.5. I am also an advocate for Sheep Nose.

Lets go run up Wind Ridge in Eldo.

I have wondered about that due to elevation and I enquired in another thread without a response. Are those domes in Staunton likely ice free? Are they a seeping mess?

Climbed Yellow Spur in Eldo last Sunday. Everything on the West face of Redgarden looked clear of snow and ready to be climbed.

I agree with Travis, Rewritten is a solid option.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I think we have settled on either wind ridge or rewritten. Plenty of good options here for the rest of our winter/spring.
