Ahhh, summer in the mountains. It’s a whimsical, short-lived season compared to its icy, blustery counterpart, but for those few verdant months, when the high country is erupting with life and energy, the climbing is really, really good. Whether it be sneaker scrambling up your favorite backyard peak or clipping bolts up a colorful palette of stone, summer climbing in the mountains is like butter on bread. Here’s a gander at a few high country venues, sure to put a grin on the face of anyone who ain’t afraid of heights.
