Best (and only) climbing gym in Golden, but its top notch, even when compared at a national level. Earth Treks owns and operates some huge gyms in the DC/Baltimore area.

Food Scene

When I need to get out of the office, I'll work from Bean Fosters. Not the fastest wifi, but good enough, and the coffee + atmosphere is great.

Drinks & Nightlife

Favorite bar in Golden. Be careful if you are coming up from sea level - alcohol works quick out here. (At altitude, tired, dehydrated? Be careful!)
