Description

This is the large scattered bouldering area located on and below the southern slope of South Mountain. There are many top quality problems with huge potential for more in a setting away from the crowds.

(This is just a start to get the area listed. If you have info, please add it. I think we will need an overview map and maybe sub areas)

Getting There

See map
mountainproject.com/v/new_h… Drive in via Reservation Rd, and if the gate is open (otherwise park near it), take a left onto Tower Rd (it says Mountain rd on the map) and in a few hundred yards park on the rt at the junction with Mountain Tr. (Look for #5 on park map) Walk in here and instead of breaking left like you were going to the tower, stay straight (bearing rt.) until you are coming down the south slope of South Mountain. Break left off the dirt track as you just start coming into more hemlocks and before you get to a small marsh on your left, and head basically east with S Mountain on your left and the marsh on your rt. You will first go by more scattered boulders, then the boulders get better, bigger and more clustered. It might take you 10 min from the trailhead to get to the turn off and another 10 to get to the main clusters, with many boulders along the way. Look both up on the slope and down in the hemlocks. There are some great ones hidden down a bit including the huge Mowgli Boulder.
