Anyone know about these rocks? I remember being up there when i was a kid and climbing all over them.

Just got into Climbing a month ago and that place came to mind last night.

Anyone been up there?

I'm not really sure. I remember one big one. But then again these are memories from when i was a kid. I plan on going up there this coming week to scope it out.

I'll take pics and post um up if there are any climbable ones.

Ok i made it up there and took some pics. It looks like there really isn't anything more than 2 or 3 move problems up there. There are three rocks large enough and all of them are under the trees save for the corner of one of the bigger ones. That corner is in boulder6-boulder8.

Looks like it could be some fun stuff as long as you don't mind short problems. Could be interesting to see the different between tall people and short people on these.

As you can see in some of the pics there are some kids recreating my childhood memory. hehe LaughSmileCool

Oh and if you have a sports car the drive up the mountain is more than enough reason to give it a look! The gates to the Telescope parking lot close at 4:30pm

Ya i was really wishing the boulder had landed in a different way to make them taller. But who knows maybe a cool traverse route can be found.
