Description
Clear Creek Canyon is a popular location for bouldering of nearly all styles. Technical aretes, hard roofs, and crimpy face climbs are all found in this canyon of wide variety. One thing CCC has always lacked is a true zone of highball boulders. Of course, there’s always the occasional tall line, but we’re talking HIGHBALL. Army Of The Dead has many tall walls and boulders scattered up the hill from Nomad Cave, some more reasonable than others. These lines are the true gems of the Front Range highballs, and a couple might even achieve a more legendary status.
