Description 

This is a nice cluster of boulders about 1/4 mile from the parking area. Contains 3 established problems and a couple of highball open projects.

I mostly boulder by myself at lunch so I don't usually have a spotter - there is a beautiful overhanging highball crack here, but you would want lots of pads and spotters I think. Also a similar highball arete...

Great stone here, beautiful setting. IMBA and the State Parks guys are putting in some kick ass mountain bike trails in here... great service to the whole area!


Getting There 

Drive down the Curt Gowdy road into the park towards Granite Reservoir. The first parking area to the right is called Aspen Grove. Drive in here and park. Cross the gate on the road and look for a singletrack to the right in about 50 feet. Follow the singletrack for about a 1/4 mile until you reach the obvious boulders.

Then another set of foot shuffling lead to a bomber finishing hold (which you can't see at all) in the orange lichen at the very top. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in WY
