| Boulder Pile
Area:
Follow the base trail until you happen upon the mass of boulders (boulder pile) away from the cliff. These boulders fell here during a spring thaw in the 1920's. a few short (very short) problems exist here, they also provide the main bleachers for spectators. |
|
B4.)
Underknome: V0-
Very Short and easy problem, begin under the boulders just down hill from the natural spring. facing the river climb back towards the cliff face. Top out on the boulders by jamming the crack system or mantle. |
|
B5.) Sloper Mantle: V1+ Try to continue down the right side of this boulder for an additional pump (see light blue lines in image) |
|
B6.) Traverse: V0-
Start at the corner (arete) nearest Rocketman, head towards the pedestal to the right (beginners climb). Fun small crimpy holds with a long reach to finish at the pedestal. |
|
Doug's Area:
The next set of problmes is located near or under the popular top rope route "Doug's Roof". This section is just past the boulder pile and has a prominant roof 15 feet up, with a lower roof near the ground. |
|
B7.) Climb Or Die V7
Start the same as the top rope route "Intimidator" using the starting block, traverses right ending on a large flake B8.) The Suicide Machine V9/V10 Start just to the right of the climb Ballerina on a crimper and a sloper. Traverse right under the low roof to "Dougs Roof" and hop off. |
|
Dark Arete Area:
Follow the trail along the cliff until you are a few hundred feet from the railroad tracks. The dark face to the right contains a fun & easy traverse that heads up hill from the arete. As with many Grand Ledge climbs there are many variations to the start. Beware of the crappy landing, with sloping ground and a few large ankle twisters to contend with...but the hand holds are large. |
The light colored rock to the left of the arete has a few fun traverse
problems. I personally like to start at the arete head up a few feet and
then left to the large gap in the rock, Then head back on the lower portion
of the rock to finishing back at the arete. Directions | Ethics & Regulations | Top Rope Guide | Amenities Back to Grand Ledge main Copyright © 1999-2003
