This is a nice low elevation bouldering area in a beautiful little canyon. There are a handful of really nice boulders to be climbed on, with some great moderate problems and some really good harder ones. The rock is a bit water polished, but has really nice features and is mostly super solid. The landings of some of the climbs are occasionally under standing water.
Getting There
These boulders are directly below It Cliff. Park at the Molino Basin parking area, a mile or so before the Fee Station. Follow the trail south for a bit, scramble down into the creekbed and head downstream.
The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Molino Basin Boulders:
Climb the black water streak on the obvious tall face in the hammer of hate area. there is a lower start beginning on two horrendously polished crimps and a bad foot that is much harder. a fall from the top of this would result in certain injury. the crux is at the top, and involved a right hand lock off of a small, incut pinch off of a high left toe. committing, but extremely fun! the boulder that it is on is beautiful!...[more]Browse More Classics in AZ
This is a nice little bouldering area, whether you are looking for some fun, easy problems or some mutant-hard projects. The setting is hard to beat, as well.
I know people have been climbing here for a while, but with a paucity of information regarding climbs in this area, we have been adding problems with names we have given them. If you have climbed these problems before and had a name for them, let me know and we'll revert to the original name.
this is a short bouldering video of extremely poor quality ha. hopefully it will help with the orientation, identification, etc. of boulders. i will try and get back out there with a better camera sometime soon and film a more comprehensive short for the area. not quite sure how one of the climbs ended up in UV, but i couldn't quite figure out how to fix it... haha.
