If you are light on equipment, the bouldering at Flagstaff Mountain is a lot of fun. Overhanging sandstone, good rock, fun moves.

I second greg with Eldo - some of the best trad climbing around. Great cragging at Rincon wall. Avoid the crowds at Mickey Mouse.

I left the Red, which I loved from the bottom of my heart, my home, my job, my family, all my girlfriends but one, and my '66 Dodge Charger to climb in Eldorado. Thirty years later, I still feel like I made a good trade. Pick a grade and climb as many classic routes as you can in one day. It just might be the best day of climbing you've ever had.

To the previousy mentioned routes I'd add Super Slab, Outer Space, Ruper to Upper Grand Giraffe, T-2, Blackwalk and, on the Mickey Mouse Wall, Captain Beyond.

Eldo is amazing. Bastile Crack totally lived up to the hype!

Eldorado all the way. There are some nice climbs in Bouder canyon, but Eldorado has some of the most classic (historical and lovely) climbing in the country. Just go and do anything Layton Kor put up or any of the following:
Naked Edge
Bastille
Rewritten
Yellow Spur
Rosy Crucifixion
Calypso

Other than that, I would suggest heading to Lumpy ridge before boulder canyon.

Have fun, I'm jealous. (that is just my bitter no-time-to-climb-bitter-grad. student voice talking)

Cheers.
