1 day to climb near Denver

[avaserfi]

My wife and I are going on an impromtu trip to Denver at the end of the month. We decided to get a day of climbing in on November 1. We aren't too familiar with the climbing in the area, but I was looking at Clear Creek Canyon as a close option. I'm going to be in the middle of a strength phase so I wasn't planning on going crazy. Power trip on the Anarchy Wall looks like a pretty cool route to try out.


Any other crag suggestions or is Clear Creek the best bet for a quick day trip? Anyone interested in meeting up?

I would consider Wall of the 90s if I were you. It's probably the best single cliff in Clear Creek. It's got a ton of routes, grades from 5.9-5.14, and serious contenders for "best-of-the-grade" routes at several grades (such as, 10a, 11b, 11c, 12a, 12c, 13b, 14a, 14b, 14c). It also gets shade till 2pm or so, which is what you'll want on Nov 1.

Thanks for the recommendation. We had a great time climbing in the 90s!
