Year round, adventure seekers head to Boulder, Colorado, a college town nestled at the base of the iconic Flatirons, slanted sandstone formations, to engage in a variety of outdoor activities.

Instead, climbers arrive with a wide range of abilities to tackle this focal point of the Boulder County trail system.
