Description 

The Blue Collar & NRR walls offer some fine limestone bouldering, on very solid, well featured stone. The walls are right next to eachother, with the Blue Collar wall providing the warmups for the NPR wall. These two walls will deliver quality moves, on great holds, with the grades ranging from v-easy to v5/6ish. With mostly good landings, and a short uphill approach, these seldom visited walls should give you semblence of solitude, as wells, as a workout.


Getting There 

Just before Lower Lake Mary (and just past the store) look for the last dirt road on the left (north)and turn in there. It will soon T. Turn left and drive maybe 300 feet until you see an obvious drainage on the right. Park here.

Hike uphill along elk trails staying right of the drainage. When you encounter the main cliff band, there will be a well worked in trail. Follow this right for a minute until you come across the Blue Collar wall. The NPR wall is the next wall Right.

Dave Gershwin and Jeff Ludwig showed me these walls about a year after Rob Drysdale died, sometime in 1993, we were calling one of these "The Whining Dog Wall".
