Sure there are a lot of out of the way, rarely climbed routes in BOCan that your could scratch your way up without anyone noticing for a while, but at the end of the day. You'd have to live with that within your own conscience. And I don't think you want to be "that guy". Whereas at Moffat Tunnel (and Hidden Falls too!!! Though it's slightly further away) you can find some pretty good routes established for the express purpose of mixed climbing. Most if not all of the mixed routes are on the route index here and here. Though please feel free to send me a PM if you'd like further beta (or hell. Even a partner. It's about time to start training my tool-grip strength anyway). |

This area was developed for dry tooling a long time ago: |
|
awesome, thanks for all of the tips guys! |
|
those routes on rock island actually look pretty fun, so can I ethically TR those with my tools? |
|
Yeah, its been a dry tooling area long before anyone bothered rock climbing there. Total choss pile = perfect for dry tooling! |
|
Sport Park!!! Haha... ;) |

Yep I was tooling Sunday morning on the island. My technique still needs lots of work. |
