I love climbing corners. What are your favorites in Colorado (sport or trad)?

Nothing compares with Wunsch's Dihedral.http://www.mountainproject.com/v/wunschs-dihedral/105752347.

In the desert sandstone category, Fork It and Passion for Pumping/Corner Pump Station are high quality to.

Pear Buttress start...after unprotected face climbing with a bad landing, you have to make a committing stem move into the Dihedral.

The 5.8 corner on the Casual Route is pretty sick-nasty

Hmmm.. P1 of Ariel Book and P1 of Naked Edge are both pretty good corners. Crime of the Century is a good corner. Whimsical Dreams flip-flops and gives you both sides in shallow corners, as does Silver Raven! Perversion and Pony Expresss (done direct up the corner at 11d) are exceptional at their grades. Honestly, the Green Dihedral at Mickey Mouse is great and comes in at only 5.7+. it is a fantastic corner. Romulan territory has an AMAZING crack pitch in Lumpy's mess of flares. So does Cary Granite, truely stellar, up at Mt Evans.
Longer stuff, while not as concentrated in it's wonderfulness, can none the less contain more wonderfulness over all. And for that I mention the fantastic, largely corner containing climbs of:
Wunsch's Dihedral
Turnkorner
Athlete's Feat
Practice Wall

Best I've climbed.. Sport: not my cross to bear, penitente. Trad: pitch 4 of the casual route

Arching Jams on the Pericle Wall, Pikes Peak.

These two come to mind:

- Perversion at the Mickey Mouse wall.
- 5th pitch of the Casual Route on the Diamond.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
