    Sorry, didn't see this...uhhh how non-popular? Actually, mostly I know the non-popular boulders at the popular places, for instance Sanitas (my old home bouldering area) has a few totally untraveled but fun boulders, same with fag'staff.

    And while it isn't front range, swan mtn can be entertaining for an hour or so.

    RMNP and Lumpy have some great bouldering that I have never seen another soul on- lots of first ascents to be had.

    I unfortunatly dont remember directions well enough for specific areas- but it might be worth a hike to look around.

    Asking for uncrowded bouldering is like asking where everyone's favorite backcountry stash is.
    A lot of people earn their turns. Some just get bigger checks.

    Big Elk is good. For cooler weather Carter Lake is good and doesn't see much traffic. Are you familiar with the Wild Basin boulder? Lumpy, Suzuki boulder, there's a few other roadside boulders in RMNP.

    If there's anything around Ned or in the Indian Peaks it's a well kept secret. There almost surely is but I have never heard of any.

    Check out the Barrio for a roadside fix in boulder canyon. Also good is the Freight Train.

    Check out frontrangebouldering.com for some other obscure options. PM for more.

    I agree. If you want to know my favorite spot, we'll have to meet up for beers sometime.

    I bet bouldering at the I-25/I-70 interchange would be pretty unpopular. Is that the mousetrap?
