Remote climbing areas in Colorado
|
|
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!! |

Popes nose is great. |

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. |

Easy Cheesewrote: 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 |
