Although security has always been cool to me, climbing on campus is probably considered trespassing the same way that skateboarding is and you may be subject to fines or student-specific punishment if you are enrolled. Please respect campus security and be mindful of this. Some of the safest routes to climb in this regard at any time are CLOVER, 4 LEAVES, LUCKY, Campus Recreation, (Ante)Chamber of Commerce, Burnet Bend, Campus Recreation, Old Chemistry, New Chemistry, and Against The Law

Description

This is a classic to campus. It's a consistent and diverse line that takes a bit of solving. There is a chalk drawing of a clover on the route and "CLOVER" written so I guessed that was the name. If you FA'd this boulder or have climbed it please comment!

Location

On the Westernmost part of the tunnel under the Geology-Physics building just off Clifton Court

What a good climb! Perfect location in the tunnel and great holds. V4-5 might be a bit generous though, probably closer to V3-4 Sep 9, 2020

Justin, glad you had fun! I originally had this one graded as a 4 but on reflection I thought that the first two moves, gastons to crimps on bad feet from the match, was a little much for your standard V4 climber, might have just been scrunchy for me... the rest of it goes pretty easy though, you're right Sep 9, 2020

Awesome climb! My friend and I changed up the first hold beta, making it more like V2 maybe. But the movement is sweet! Sep 11, 2021

Pretty spolid climb with a lot of fun side pulls and a bit of compression. Thought outdoor grading can feel kinda sandbagged, its like that across the country. In comparison to a typical boulder I'd say this is just about a V2, maybe max V3 Feb 19, 2022
