Crested Butte
4 routes and 51 boulder problems at 15 crags. "Crested Butte" is the catalogue's own grouping — a town, a canyon or a corridor, whichever climbers actually say.
Which way a wall faces is known for 6 of these 15; the rest say nothing rather than guess. Sun and shade by season ranks the ones we know.
