We climb all winter in Morrison. We will probably do a little sport climbing up on South Table in Golden as well.

The only time of year to climb at South Table in Golden IS in the winter. The summer is just brutal, it's not that good of climbing to deal with the heat IMO!

Personally I just get out the ice gear for the winter :)

im confuzzed?

Bouldering?, Rock Climbing?, Ice Climbing?, or Alpine?

Are you looking to get in the snow/ice or avoid it?

Tons of stuff around Boulder. Mount Sanitas has some nice south facing problems. Flagstaff... The Utah desert is always good.

Anthrax as the title says.. looking for some bouldering sites that are open accessible during the winter - where we won't freeze our gear off.

There's a Canyon just south of Franktown that is pretty cool. About one mile south or so.

That would be Castle"hood" Canyon.

I get out there at least once a year. Nowhere else is there so much variety to 'pick' from and get lots of ice time in. Just wished it wasn't so dang far a drive!

I have a difficult time keeping my hands warm so, ice climbing is out for me.

Well do you go indoor? Inner Strength (indoor) in Ft. Collins has a killer wall and of coarse you cant beat The Tropics and Torture Chabler at Horsetooth Lake, also Carter Lake has a some good stuff. I've also enjoyed The Spot (indoor) in Boulder it's over 10k sq. ft. and is all bouldering, and the 12 year old girls will make you me look like a beginner (there really, really good).

Then call me when you wanna get a little more altitude under your toes ... ;)

Well yes.. I am a member at Inner Strength..

...and the 12 year old girls will make you me look like a beginner (there really, really good). ;)

Tell me about it.. that's the problem - my daughter (10) is the rockclimber, she is the one who got me into climbing. Now she schools me every time we go (unless it's just a strength or height problem).

She wants to compete, but she needs more practice time. Wanted to find some more outdoor stuff. Will be climbing in AZ over the Christmas break.

Then call me when you wanna get a little more altitude under your toes ... ;)

Will do.. but heights scare me.... :eek: (Just kidding... might be interested next summer.
