Product Description
Description
This is a large area running from Buffalo Rd. up to below the Main Cliff, between the small parking lot and the wooden stairs leading up to the Armed and Dangerous climbing area. This area is full of potential. Some of the rock here is sharp, having a lot of quartz and mica and vegetated, as it is buried in the trees, but there are also some high quality gems. It needs some care, attention and traffic. This area has potential for many great routes, ranging from highballs to cool powerful lowballs, with some excellent problems already established (not all are on The Proj so we need to get info on them). Get out there and find your dream problem.
Also there is a lot of bad fall potential here so please be careful so you don’t get hurt… To keep them reasonable, some of the boulders have bolts on top so you can throw up a TR. You may need a few short slings and biners.
Getting There
Go to the small parking lot. From the small parking lot walk in a little along the various cliff approach trails. Many of the boulders are right along the trail. For the ones higher up the hill, such as the Orange Arete boulder and above, it is best to approach from the Shipyard boulder, walking around it to the right and back, and then up. That way you will be walking on more rock and not the steep loose hillside that would quickly succumb to erosion with traffic. Avoid dropping off the main path and heading directly up the hill towards the Orange Arete. Take care when heading up the hill when the leaves are thick on the ground. There are lots of hidden rock crevasses to fall into.
