Classic Arete V3-4 CO : South Platte : ... : Obscure Buffalo Creek Rocks

Really cool arete with an incut seam/rail running about 2/3 of the mid section. I couldn't top out as I didn't feel good commiting with only 2 pads and no spotter. I can't say exactly how hard the top is once the seam dies out, probably 2 or 3 hard moves. Most of the problem is probably V1-V2....[more] Browse More Classics in CO

This area has some good fun boulder problems both crack and slab.

The slab under and right of the nose is a perfect place for people who aspire to do the real hard Platte face climbs to practice. Bring a pad.

I have bouldered here for years. I am sure no where near as long as A.H. A great deal of fun problems exist. I take the 5 year old here often. I added a few more photos.

If anyone is interested in helping me do a clean up here, I will dispose of the garbage we collect. I am thinking of getting it done in the next two weeks. 1 or 2 people would be a great help.
Thanks,
JB
