Access Issue: 1. RAIN & WET ROCK 2. DANGER OF EROSION Details

1. Texas Canyon is conglomerate that is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp, then do not climb.

2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.

Description

The huge square cut boulder. The Briscoe County Boulder features short, but more traditionally bolted lines. The rock is more friable and features fewer pockets then found elsewhere at Texas Canyon. While the boulder may appear featured and solid, the stone is more akin to what John Long has characterized as "vertical mud." And there's the poison oak, as well.

Getting There

Follow directions to the Panhandle. Continue past this wall to the far left end, over a rocky step and then left down a trail that leads to the Briscoe County Boulder and it's four routes.
