Access Issue: This is the access road to California Park and the Hahns Peak Basin from the Southern Wyoming, Eastern Moffat County, and Northwestern Routt County directions---not the standard access road to Hahns Peak.
Details
Routt County Road 82, Forest Service Road 116 follows Slater Creek. The best problems can be found near the intersection of Slater and Adams Creeks. This is not world class bouldering...if you are passing through the area, it is a fun roadside stop. Noting too much over V0 easy. Most of the limestone is fairly solid. The crag sticks out like a sore thumb as you reach the area, it is north of the road & creek and south of Shield Mountain.

There is nothing too much over V0 easy. Most of the limestone is fairly solid. The crag sticks out like a sore thumb as you reach the area, it is north of the road & creek and south of Shield Mountain. The area is an in open meadow...lots of wind and lots of sun.
Watch out for rattlesnakes among the rocks...lots of other mice, marmot, and such living along the rock and cliffs.
If you are passing through the area, this is a fun addition to the tour of Black Mountain and California Park...not a bouldering destination!!!!
