Newlin Creek has possibly some of the best granite in Colorado. It is totally worth the drive. You can find plenty of moderates in the main area and some gems in the new sectors. I think this could be a place for potential female FA's. Tojo Risen is one of my favorite climbs there, with one of the best pinches around, and to top it off, you start with a heel-toe cam. In this clip, Kristen does a great job of heel hooking the slab for the crux move. Others, who generally have poor flexibility (like me), campus the next move after the rail.

Pineapple Express
Jugs for opening moves with a key heel-toe cam. Tough bottom moves with a left hand bump for the crux. Others crossed with right hand for the crux. Top out is some what slopey.
