Leadville
75 routes and 8 boulder problems at 19 crags. "Leadville" 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 18 of these 19; the rest say nothing rather than guess. Sun and shade by season ranks the ones we know.
