Hi guys,
There will be a larger group (9) climbing at East Colfax this Saturday starting at approximately 9 AM. We will have probably 4 ropes ropes setup for TR on the easy stuff.
Thanks

Is it that bad up there??? Never been.

There are fun routes if you like 5.7's, but there is a large group there about every weekend day.
Friends have insisted on going there several times despite the fact that most every time we do we have to wait awhile for anything under 5.11 to be open.

Thanks for the heads up. Hope Frau Blücher crushes those 5.6s.

Does it get really that bad up there. Maybe I should setup the TR on the 11s and 12???

You just have to beat the crowds. That is the key.

Guides also go there with their own groups and may even beat you at 7am. But you have other options in the area, so give it a try.

Since its called East Colfax does that mean there are prostitutes hiding in the bushes as well?

I hope not. Maybe in the Nomad's cave across the creek.

I agree about getting there early - and when it gets crowded head across the tyro and do this great route:

You can drive over to Cat Slab, which is close by.

Guys, thanx for all replies. It went well yesterday. The place is crowded, but there are plenty routes to climb and people were nice.

I am always looking for new places for my high school kids to climb. It is tough because of different abilities 5.4-5.12.

Glad to hear. It went fine with my friend, too, as we just got on the harder routes to the right of the main wall.
