Best beginner cracks near Denver?

Hey there, I'm looking to do some easy/beginner crack climbs on gear later this summer. I was thinking South Platte but am open to other suggestions.

Verschneidung Dihedral or Star Wars

vedauwoo has a ton of easy cracks of all shapes and sizes. easier to chase shade than the platte also.

Those are both good but in eldo. Easier and also in eldo The Bomb and Recon. Several at Turkey Perch, Classic Dihedral at Bucksnort Slab, Roll Dem Bones and the one next to it at Da Butts. 

the movement gyms have a few at each location

+1 for bomb/recon/wind ridge

Killian’s Dead 5.6 and the 5.7 next to it, at North Table

Crack Corner 5.7 at Animal World

5.8 Crack at Lookout Mountain

All of these are quite easy, involve at least a few obligatory jamming moves, and you can set up a TR by walking to the top if needed. I had a similar thread a few months back:

I found Killians Dead & the route next to it strange or mixed jamming / face climbing. Would suggest Big Dihedral (5.8) ~100ft to climber's right as an alternative with more sustained and enjoyable jamming. All good climbs tho. 

If you want to come to Boulder:

Boulder canyon at “The Dome” and the “Elephant buttresses” have several good cracks from 5.6 up to 5.10 that are pretty splitter and take good gear. 

I would suggest not going to North Table in the summer...

Definitely too hot for much of the day. However, I've had some nice sessions arriving at 6 am and climbing until 10 am or so.
