Sunday was so nice that I had to hit the cascade boulders so I gave my good friend Brian a call and we hit the road. First stop was the newly discovered Box spring Boulder. A nice overhang and 2 minutes from the car.

We sent 5 new lines from VB to V4. Next it was off to do some climbing on clean rock so I took Brian to the Orchard boulders and we sent our way through the group. I felt really good so I got on my traverse project on the Banana boulder and sent it first go. One more V5 to through into the mix. Next I took a few more goes at the really hard line on the left side of the boulder. The lines is 3 moves long but they are incredible hard and very desperate.

At the start. |

Sticking the first move for the first time ever. Maybe this thing will go. |
Not one to want to were myself out we headed on to the forest boulders and finished up on some classics. Brian even got the second ascent of a V4! What a great day out and in the perfect sunshine.
Day two was hit the Bridge of the Gods Boulders aka (BOG) boulders. I had been out to this area 3 times before but not for a long time and had not done any climbing yet. My wife and daughter got in the car and off we went. My daughter did a small climb and had a great time in the sunshine.

Grace and Holly and one cool boulder. |
I have to say that the BOG boulders are incredible. They do have poison oak around but the rock and the climbing is incredible. There are not that many warm-ups but that's ok.

The boulder right above the last one with an incredible line out the middle. |
Can't weight to go back and get in a full day out there. So much rock and so little time.

Well it looks to be great weather this weekend so I will be out in the woods doing more bouldering. Have a great weekend all.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteCould you please contact me about access to several of these bouldering areas? I'd like to take my two kids, but I can't seem to find detailed information on how to get there. Thanks! I'm at vinceschreck at yahoo.com. I appreciate it!
