My climbing partner and I are just starting to get outdoors. We've TR with an acquaintance who Trad Climbed and helped set the rope for us. However, my climbing partner and I are looking for routes that are easy to access the anchors or chains from a hike up. So that we can show up with a rope and some quick draws and easily TR while we acquire more gear and learn proper top belaying, knot work, and lead climbing techniques.

Any suggestions in the Boulder/Golden/Eldorado Canyon Area is much appreciated. FYI we've only TR at Happy Hour Crag so far. (minus gym work)

Thanks again,
-Chris

Boulder Canyon Sport Park
M. Dirty Dave's Dumpster Dive, 9+, 1p, bolts.
N. Double Down, 7 or 9+, 1p, bolts, 50'.

One of these routes above at the Surprising Crag at the Sport Park can easily be top roped. There are literally stairs leading up to the anchors.

Also in BC, I believe the Hideout crag has climbs that can be top roped as well. It is a long approach though.

A good book that I used when I was in Boulder last summer is Front Range Topropes by Fred Knapp. It lists tons of areas around Boulder, Estes Park, Golden, etc...

Awesome, Thanks for the quick responses. I'm loving this site even more! We'll go for a scouting trip and take a look at these locations.

Thanks again,
