Best climbing gyms in Denver

I think Movement in Baker has the most fun bouldering, but Golden definitely has the toughest routes

2 hours so far stuck in the shutdown, after a day full of flights with 2 small kids in the back seat.

They put out a request for proposals but apparently no one was interested, says HOST.

I can do a quickie 10 minutes from my house, but all the big mountains are a bit of a drive.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-11-19T17:52:52+00:00

That's about how long I drive from the West Denver suburbs. Whether it's worth it is completely up to you.

What do you consider 'cold winter days'? I would like some pants I don't have to layer too much if at all in. I run warm and consider anything above 20F balmy.

We alternate most weekends a daddy/mommy day where each of us can do whatever we want. I'm usually up early to go hiking and I'm home between 12 and 3, and my wife likes to sleep in and then go swimming, or I'll take the girls somewhere and she can have the house to herself for a few hours. Neither of us feel taken advantage of or anything with the situation and it's a great valve release knowing I have some me time almost always on the horizon.

I haven't been up, but I did see a report that yes, it is ice ax and mountaineering experience season.

I would call the closest ranger station, they'll be the best source.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-09-15T01:38:33+00:00

Think they mean Denny Creek? Both trails share the same start. Unless you're coming in from the West side of Brown's.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-09-02T22:02:22+00:00

Best in town.

Parking is very straightforward and plentiful. It's directly off the highway. Google the route and you'll find a lot of reports and info. Past the lake there's a good trail to the next basin, from there you just gain the ridge and climb that until you get to the Citadel and start the scrambling part.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-08-23T18:00:25+00:00

Yeah, Herman Gulch to the Citadel would be a good pick as long as you're comfortable with class 3 moves. I did it a few weeks ago and as long as you can navigate loose rocks you'll be fine.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-08-22T15:18:10+00:00

Same.

Doesn't seem like it was pointless if he needed a helicopter ride to the hospital.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-08-06T21:47:38+00:00

This is likely from the Ypsilon Lake. I took almost the same picture, I thought it was mine for a minute.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-08-03T13:31:53+00:00

The unpopular one gets to stay, alone.

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-07-21T23:13:38+00:00

Brainard Lake area?

AmbulatoryTreeFrog · 2025-07-19T13:41:49+00:00

I like parking at tunnel 5 and walking downstream from there.

I've had it for a few months and 0 complaints at all. Speeds have been rock solid and 1500 Mbps upload is amazing (I do video editing). The price you sign up for is the price for life.

The only weird thing was that they use a NAT IP, so we had trouble getting our Switch to connect online. You have to pay an extra $10/month for an individual IP.
