I did two amazing backpacking trips down there a few years ago--one out of El Chalten and one in Torres del Paine. Shoot me a PM and I'll be glad to share more information.

Clear Creek Canyon is definitely worth checking out. It's very close to Denver, and not far at all from Boulder. Wall of Justice is a good spot with several routes in the grades you're looking for. There are some really steep climbs if you want to be reminded of home! Slammer is a super fun 12b that...

How are the laws differant from KY to alabama.. how can HP charge a day use fee..and know one minds paying. they seem like they are doing well and climbers get hurt their all the time.. Oh boy! Recreational use statutes are one of my favorite topics! I started to reply to this, then I realized that...

I heard from folks climbing there the next day that someone picked it up with the intention of dropping it of...

Rumor has it that a GriGri 2 was turned into Miguels recently, so check there!

That sounds familiar, Vertical. I couldn't find anything saying it, tho. But I did find a few prominent members of the RRGCC board encouraging lowering. I believe the rules of Muir Valley used to say to rappel rather than lower. I just looked at the rules and didn't see that one. Perhaps the policy ...
