Description Suggest change

DO NOT CLIMB WET SANDSTONE! LET IT DRY FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT BEFORE CLIMBING!

Frisbee golf course with quite a few scattered, solid red rock boulders on the course. Boulders are currently being developed but 5 have been finished and cleaned with graded problems, ranging from easy traverses to sketchy chossy high balls. DO NOT CLIMB UNDEVELOPED BOULDERS, could be choss heavy and lead to injury as well as damaged boulders. The only bad things about the area are shattered glass from partying assholes throwing bottles and frisbee golfers who'll take your head off.

Upon entering Thunderbird Gardens via the east entrance(not the disc golf), follow the main trail into the large clearing. On your left(west) walking in you will find Thor's Wing Boulder and Globe Trodden Boulder, straight and left(north-west) a little will be Big Boy Boulder and Sensei's Only Boulder, directly north will be Heavenly Seven Boulder. Mini-cave will be found on your right(east) about 30 meters into the park.

Getting There Suggest change

Best approach I've ever had; the first boulders are within 2-minute walk from the parking lot. Parking lot includes a bathroom.
