the summit of Green, then down the west ridge of green to flagstaff road then down the road 0.5 mile to Long canyon, down Long canyon to the ranger cabin,
then over to the top of Flagstaff (not the actual top but to where you can take a right down Flagstaff trail), and down flagstaff trail to baseline trail and back to chataqua.
Sanitarado Sanitas, Flagstaff, Green, Bear, South Boulder Peak, Eldorado Mountain - point to point. Mark Oveson and Bill Wright 7h49m   Start at the Sanitas trailhead, did the loop up that mountain and then did all the mountains down to Eldo, finishing at the Rattlesnake Gulch Trailhead. Trails followed here are the trail over the hump to Eben G. Fine, Skyline Trail to Flagstaff Trail, to Ranger Trail to Green Mountain West Ridge to Green-Bear to West Ridge of Bear Peak, traverse over to SBP, down Shadow Canyon to Old Mesa Trail, up the road to the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail. By far the crux is Eldorado Mountain, as there isn't a trail for last 1500+ vertical feet. 9000 vertical feet.
Eldoitas The Sanitardo in the reverse direction - point to point. Kreighton Beiger 6h56m37s   With Bill Wright three minutes back (6h59m37s), Homie Prater another two minutes back and Warren Teissier about 30 more minutes back.
Cross County   Buzz Burrell and Peter Bakwin      
Cross County, Cross Canyons   Buzz Burrell and Peter Bakwin     There is no fixed route, we make refinements each time we do it. Our route starts at Johnny Park (Big Elk Meadows) and links up fishing trails in St Vrain, Cerran St Vrain, CR102, Sawmill Rd, Switzerland Trail,
Switzerland Park, ending in Boulder Canyon. I know that's not the whole county, but after 35 miles its enough & Boulder Can is an easy bailout. The route to Coal Creek is clear. Anyway, you can try to find the route on your own sometime (difficult even with the map) or we can show you, as we plan to do this every year (if not we will forget how.) Its best in fall when the creek crossing in St Vrain is manageable but there's not too much snow.
Royal Arch ascent only Chris Parks 22m0s 5/21/03 This route starts at the Chautuaqua Trashcan and finishes at the big tree directly under the arch. This is a conservative time. He was probably a minute faster.

Paul started at 9 p.m. so ran through two nights. trip report
