NEW ROUTE! - Golden Canyon

Well... ok.... its not brand-new..... but it's now bolted for lead. The route is "Basquing in Your Affection" and it is located in the "French Connection" right between the two easy crack climbs. She's got 5 bolts, chain anchors and goes at 5.11a. This will be a test of your balancy, crimpy, face climbing abilities. For a good time.... start on the right side of the wall at the base of the easy crack, and then do the little bouldery traverse to the left and then head up. Have fun!

PS: Thanks to Brianne Meister for being a bad ass belay master for 3 hours while I drilled and hammered!

Ibex Valley Boudering Guide

I have received an electronic copy of the Ibex Valley Bouldering Guide from Sierra Allen who gave me the go-ahead to share it on this site. Many thanks to Sierra and her family for their generosity and all their work on developing boulder problems, creating the below map and establishing quite a few other rock climbs as well.

Do the right thing and print it double sided! (The printing option is found by clicking the MORE button below).

White Mountain TOPO - In PDF

I have had this TOPO for at least 5 years and thought that it would be useful to others as well. It does not have all the routes but gives a good idea of the grades (which are a bit off in places). I am not sure who drew it so let me know if you know so I can give proper credit.

This utility below allowed me to add a PDF to the Blog (normally a problem). To print the TOPO, click on the MORE button below.
