Ah, Jasper. A combination of better climbing and worse documentation is hard to find! There's only one guidebook, which is 10 years out of date and covers at most 2/3 of the sport routes in the area... maybe only half. There are enough trad routes to keep one busy for a lifetime. Of bouldering there is some, but it's pretty much forage and enjoy, there aren't many documented problems put up.

You could check out the Cadomin Boulders, not really in Jasper but close by. South of the Yellowhead on 40 (Forestry Trunk Rd), about 5km past Cadomin, at White Horse Campground. The Tonquin Boulder along the Astoria River is good too. It's a typical example for Jasper, one great boulder all by itself; there are ones like it scattered all over the park but they're far apart and you have to know where they are. The area called the "Boulder Garden" in the Rock Garden climbing area is not, of course, boulder problems. (It's sport and toprope.)

The best source of local knowledge is hanging around Gravity Gear in Jasper. Plus they sell quality gear at non-tourist-town prices.
