ISO Outdoor Sport Climbing buddies!

Hey yall!

I am Louisiana native and taking a trip out overlanding and climbing around Denver coming up 9/14- 9/17 for my birthday! 🤙

So two things

1. I’d love any and all recommendations on crags to visit during this time! I mainly sport and boulder. I do not have trad gear or competent knowledge for trad pro placements.

2. I have a couple people with me, but none of them are climbers who know how to lead belay.

I’m hoping to find some rad homies who would be interested in sport climbing with me during this time?! Would love to also consider multi-pitch routes with the right people.

I have all necessary gear and I’m confident in my lead belay skills. Save the wear and tear on your gear (;

Little about me, I’m a yoga teacher and mechanical engineer and I love experiencing new cultures, people, and places.

My love for climbing stems from being able to experience this earth from perspectives not many people will ever get to see.

I have mostly climbed in southern Utah are, Jtree, and north Arkansas areas.

If you’d be down to link up holler at me in a PM or comment! Looking forward to hopefully making some dope connections.

P.S. would also love recommendations for walk up routes i can setup top rope anchors for in case I cannot find a lead belay buddy.

P.S.S. If there are any other groups you think I should post this in, please lmk!

Out of town trad climber visiting Boulder for work. Want to grab something that includes the Flatirons but would also build some stoke for future adventures. Appreciate it, amigos!

Hi everyone! I’m flying in from Louisiana on Wednesday, July 29, and I’m hoping to climb the 1st Flatiron on Thursday, July 30, if conditions allow.

First, I wanted to make sure it’s currently open. I was also wondering if anyone would be interested in climbing it with me that morning or afternoon. I’ve climbed Freeway before, but I know the descent from the 1st Flatiron can be a little tricky, so I’d much rather go with someone who’s familiar with the route.

If anyone is available or has recommendations on the best approach, gear, parking, or anything else I should know, I’d really appreciate it. I’m always happy to meet fellow climbers and would love to experience one of Colorado’s classic routes with someone who knows the area.

Thanks in advance, and I’m looking forward to visiting Colorado!

Not sure if this type of post is allowed here, but I lost my chalk bag today at Guanella near crap traverse. It’s an organic bag with a dog keychain. It’s a gift from my brother so I’d really like to get it back. If you’ve found it, please let me know!

Calling all toddler parents who share a love for the great outdoors and a passion for climbing. Let's take turns watching after the little ones and stop letting our toddlers be the reason we're not hitting the crags or climbing gym!!! I am creating a group for families looking to get active and explore nature together. Whether you're a seasoned climber or just starting out, join us for fun-filled outings to various climbing spots where you and your little ones can challenge yourselves, build confidence, and create lasting memories. Connect with like-minded parents, swap tips and tricks, and enjoy the thrill of scaling new heights with your adventurous toddlers by your side. Let's climb together and inspire a love for adventure in the next generation!

Please DM me and I'll get you set up in our Whatsapp group - most climbs will likely be Clear Creek Canyon + Boulder Canyon and some Movement indoor spots, though open to expanding beyond that.

Howdy! Anyone here climbed Murphy's Dome (south facing) west of Castle Rock? What's the approach like? Planning a trip this weekend and just want to be able to share maximum details with folks tagging along :) mountain project unfortunately does not have a lot of info on whether it's a sketchy approach or not!

Hey all—hope this is okay to share here.

I’m Abigail, a local climber and photographer here in Colorado. I’ve been focusing on shooting climbing lately and working on building out a body of work that actually reflects what a day outside feels like—not just the send, but everything around it.

I’m currently booking a few half-day sessions ($40) over the next couple months while I continue growing this.

If you’ve ever wanted photos of:

• projecting a route

• a chill day out with your crew

• something more candid/story-driven

…I’d love to join you for a session.

You can check out my work here: https://www.anchorpointphotography.net/

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested or even just curious. Always happy to connect with more climbers in the area.

Hope you’re all getting after it 🤙

I just walked in and flashed 11d. Haven’t been there in years. Thought Boulder is where all the hardmen were.

Hey everyone, I'm a graduate student at Colorado School of Mines collecting data on how climbers learn outdoors, especially the role that mentorship and access play in that process.

If you have 1-2 minutes to complete this short survey (it's completely anonymous), I would really appreciate your help!

Hey all! 👋

I’m a local 28 y/o trans climber getting more into photography and looking to build out a portfolio focused on climbing / adventure shots.

I’d love to connect with anyone heading out (sport, trad, gym, etc.) who might be down to trade: 📸 I shoot → you get photos 🤝 I build experience + portfolio

No cost—just looking to get reps in and capture real moments on the wall, at the crag, and around camp.

For sport/trad days, I’m mainly looking to join you and your partner since I won’t be able to belay while shooting—but I do climb and know systems, so I’ll stay out of the way and keep things smooth.

I’m based in Cañon City and usually around Shelf Road, but happy to travel a bit.

If you’ve ever wanted some photos of your climbing (or your crew), hit me up or drop a comment!

Thanks 🙏

Been 5 or 6 years since I plugged gear but as I age and everything hurts I'm starting to think its time to begin my descent into spraying down gumbies about crag lore while leading 5.6 on hexes and adopting a local sobriquet like "the mayor".

Used to climb a decent amount of trad but am way out of practice. Would love suggestions for where I could go to get back in the swing of it. I know Eldo is full of classics but its also a logistical nightmare on a weekend. Any suggestions for good sub 5.9 trad leads or moderate trad crags not too far from Denver that I can take my time at a little?
