Does anyone have any suggestions for more remote climbing areas in Colorado?  I would love to be able to climb to the top of the route and not see any civilization around.  Like Sport/Trad/single pitch/multipitch. Would also like to car camp, and would be ok with approaches 2 miles or less.  Thoughts?  oh and planned for late September.  Ok climbing into the 40's F with sun.  love the vibes of shelf road, but would be ok with a bit more adventure climbing?  Thanks!!

Most of the south Platte bouldering. I mean most of the south Platte, period.

You want two mile approaches or less and don't want to see any people around? That's a little harder, but the Davis Face in Buena Vista fits the bill and you can camp right below it.

A gem!! Climbed @ Davis Face all weekend, 5.fun. A really beautiful piece of granite in the middle of nowhere.

It's not granite, but it is composed of metamorphosed granite sands that were once the mountains that predated the rockies. Cool stuff.

Ra and other crags in the Empire area seem pretty remote in that there haven’t been crowds (or many parties at all) when I’ve climbed there, even on weekends.

West Slope...lots of remote climbs...cooler weather in Unaweep...lors of undone stuff further towards UT...Everything on this side ( besides Riffle) is pretty secluded
