Comments: Didn't take it personal Greg. Seems like every group has their own version of things. I can't tell you how many route names were brought to my attention for the bouldering guide after I printed it. Normal for an area like Prescott that has a lot of out of town visitors but no real repository to pass along route info. The Promised Land is a prime example. Lots of routes but little FA info. Stray bolted lines are all over the Dells as well. It's just the way it is.

Comments: Paul, pretty sure I got that name from Rusty. Greg, I had heard that name as well, but since I had heard of no competing name at the time, I went with the name Rusty gave it. Can't make everyone happy.

Comments: The "...easy cracks to the top." description following the crux is little vague. After moving up right around the crux roof you find yourself in a big corner. Instead of going up the corner (boring), move back left on horizontals onto the arete above the roof you just did. Continue up the horizontals (small cams or pink tricams) staying just left of the arete to a good belay ledge. Way fun. (The currently available fold-out topo wrongly shows the route traversing way left over to Ragpicker h... more >>

Comments: Hey Chris, I grew up in Riverside and that bridge is named after my grandfather! He was mayor of Riverside for 12 years in the 60s and 70s. He was also an artist/cartoonist (did old Woody Woodpecker cartoons for Walter Lantz) and also acted in old 1930s era Buck Rogers sci-fi movies. He was a fun guy who often entertained us kids with endless magic tricks. He died in 1985. Thanks for posting the pic, it brings back lots of fond memories, of him and climbing at Mt. Rubberducks, too.

Comments: We climbed this route Fri. 11/16 and found a fenced in road construction materials yard temporarily occupying the parking lot described above. Who knows how long it will remain. We parked across the street. Greg n' Laurel's approach worked great for us. While climbing pitch 2 do not belay at the 1st set of anchors encountered (we goofed here, this anchor is only for the rappel), instead continue up right passed one more bolt to another set of bolts at the start of the 3rd pitch as per Greg’s... more >>

Comments: There is another one on one of the trails to Tahquitz. It's been there since before I start climbing in '78. Some of them are mine, but I have no idea why it started (or why I put some in!). Homo sapiens are funny.

Location: AZ : Prescott Area Bouldering : Groom Creek

Comments: At Gurley St. you actually turn south onto Mt. Vernon St. that soon becomes Senator Hwy. The Drive from Gurley to the boulders is about 6 1/2 miles. The School Bus turn-around is the first parking reached, but you can continue to the next road on the left that leads to Camp Wamatochick. Turn left and park near the large rocks (the Island boulders, many classics) and hike the Groom Creek Trail #307 to the main area or cross the highway to more boulders on the west side of the highway.

Comments: Hey Steve, How are you doing man? I see my reputation exceeds me. Do I really look that tall? I'm actually 6'0". Hank and I had fun on this one! I remember somewhere above the roof leading off some opposed sky hooks weighted with some 'biners to keep them in place. I think it was just before the cut back left. What youthful hubris! I heard there's a bolt there now. Probably a good thing too, almost no one carries skyhooks on their standard rack anymore.
