The GI crag


This little known area is a very good place to boulder. The texture of this area is very very course, however most of the climbing is at least 45degrees or more. If you can find this area, enjoy the climbing, there are many classics here, including House of Pain, the largest cliff line, which has a left arete and a traverse that is classic. There is also another overhanging block 200 yards to the right of this (facing the cliff) with a few classic overhangs.

These clickable pictures are from the far right overhanging face. I spotted this initial problem, and have spent much on this route. Once spring comes, I will no doubtly finish up this highball route. The last moves are easier than the previous, however the fear factor is high. This can also be sit started, however, it would be a lot harder, I shall try this when Spring comes. I'll keep you posted.

These photos are from House of Pain. This is the largest butress. To the left of the climb that Sara and I are featuring, is a classic arete at (V3). However, you can get seriously messed up because of the arrangement of pointed boulders below it. "At least two crash pads and a good spotter. About 30 yards right, where the hill comes back up has another decent problem, however the area, the one I'm on the the traverse seems to be the only quality climbs on this block. There is also a sit start to the route I am on, This would go about (V2). Without, It goes about (V1). However, the height is a little bit large "I can be a wimp sometimes". Also, I suggest wearing an extra layer of cloth on the knees+tape you hands as if you were the Mummy "Bob Value".
