Rogues Gallery Bouldering e-guide

[willbelayforlager]

Good day all,

I have recently put together an e-guide for the bouldering area up on the ridge above the rogues gallery sport climbing area. Started back in 2002 by myself and Jimmy Lapointe it sat unclimbed for 11+ years. I made it back a few times since the fall of 2013 to rescrub a few problems and take some fresh pictures as well as draw up a map for the area. It is a fun unique area with year round sun. I got in 2 amazing days at the end of January basking in the sun while frost and ice was sitting on the highway. It is by no means a massive area but it does have some fun problems and the potential for some hard problems. There are a few boulders the size of a Winnebago.

I do recommend bringing wire brushes up as there is lichen on some of the established problems and a bit of moss on some top outs but nothing 5mins of scrubbing couldn't cure. I am planning to head back up a couple times a month with the sole purpose of rescrubbing some of the boulders.

There are some steep lines and overhangs that will be hard when sent.

There is also a 25-30 meter vertical cliff with a prow and a large roof that could use some well placed bolts to be ascended.

If you have any questions or interest in going up there click the link to download the e-guide or email @ backyardexplorer@gmail.com

Have a great season and hope to see you on the rock.
