I'm in the Granby/Grand Lake area for a conference through 8/4, and would love to get out for a little bouldering &/or sport climbing in my free time. I'm not familiar with the area and was hoping some of you could give some suggestions on good accessible crags or boulders. I know I'm on the edge of the Park and have a wealth of options, but relatively accessible with a rental car within an hour or so of Granby is what I'm after.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Also, if anyone needs a partner or doesn't mind a tag-along, I've got a harness, belay device, and about a decade of experience with on bolts, gear, and bouldering.
There IS bouldering in the area - pretty low key and hidden. Hike up to Columbine Lake for some good stuff, or up past Monarch Lake towards Pawnee for 3.5 miles or 7 miles for the good stuff. A few random boulders on N. and E. Inlet trails, as well as around Lake Granby, but not much there. The Titans are the best, up towards Devil's Thumb. I put up around 45 problems (V1-V11) over the past 4 years in those areas.
Thank you all for the info. I actually got a partner and hit Lumpy for a bit- good stuff. I didn't get to boulder around Grand Lake but did run a few of the trails; Flash Gordon, there's definitely good stuff out there!
Thanks for the info, and hope to visit you all's neck of the woods again soon.
