Boulder Canyon, where the heck where we?
|
Ok, I know this is a really long shot, but I was hoping the Boulder Canyon climbers will know the area well enough to help me figure out where we climbed today. |

Cascade crag? |
|
Did you cross the creek or were you on the other side of the road? |

The Bihedral |

Bihedral |

If Mark or Chris's response doesn't seem to jive with the topo info you've got. You were climbing on some of the newer-ish developed stuff below bihedral proper. The folks that rapped down the crack were coming off the ledge system that all the bihedral routes begin from. |

And, yes, the Tyrol heads to the trail system that would take you either back upstream (west) to Cascade or East to Sherwood Forest and Witches tower.Ding! that sounds right. New shiny bolts and anchors. Any names for the newish stuff? |

The Mobile App will show you the location of your destination on a map (and all it's neighbors), and show your current location as a blinking blue dot. Walk in circles until your blue dot gets closer to your crag :) And it works with no cell signal. |

Location tracking does not use cell service: it uses GPS, so it works without cell service. |

Sounds like Bihedral |

I think when I first got it all it did was let you download a pdf description. I will poke around the app today to see if I can make the map thing work. As far as no cell service areas. If you download the area you are headed to while in a service area, like home the night before, then the phone will use GPS to navigate. I have a walking app that works pretty good while hiking in the back country. The downside to GPS is it will do really weird things if you get into a canyon with steep walls on both sides. |
