Bouldering at Pocketopia - despite the rain and sn...

Description 

Pocketopia is an ideal bouldering venue with generally flat landings and rock with an abundance of pockets.

Getting There 

On reaching Tom's Place on the 395 take the East turn and drive passed a few houses. After about 4 miles on this road you'll reach Crowley Lake Dam. Cross over the Dam and turning right head up the road (take care as the road narrows). Once at the top of the hill the road turns to dust. After 1.3 miles take the obvious right turn onto the 4S03. Follow this road for just over 3 miles, until you come to a steeper section of road with a switchback. The Pocketopia escarpment is on either side of you.

Continue on for 400 yards until possible to turn right onto a faint track - follow this for a further 1/2 mile until you can see the boulders.

The perfect line. Start on pockets and follow the golden streak through a small square inclusion, and some smaller pockets up high. Go direct to finish and not toward the flake to the right. This is my vote for the best of its grade on Bishop Tuff, and possibly the best line on tuff on the Plateau. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
