Description 

Great area to come and enjoy endless amounts of boulders in a very peaceful setting.

Priest Draw is a grassy plain 50 yds wide separates bands of limestone cliffs 15' in height with fun roofs and awesome traverses.

Draw climbing is endless and it is easy to lose yourself exploring up and down the Draw's various inlets.

See the Climbing porn classic "Rampage" for inspiration and route beta.

Check out the Dr. Topo Guidebook here


Getting There 

Head towards The Pit, pass the pullout, take next right follow road for about 3.5 miles take right turn onto dirt road and park at preist draw sign (300 yds)

Is there a guidebook for this area that does any justice?

An e-guide is available from http://www.boulderingtopo.com for $8.50. It was made by two Flag locals, Jason Henrie and Zak Farmer, and it's pretty complete and has some excellent pictures and topos.

EDIT: Boulderingtopo.com is apparently gone now, so I guess you're on your own again... bummer.

Someone or some group recently smashed and broke a large rock in the landing zone of the Plaque Wall, directly behind the Triangle Boulder. This rock can be seen in the photo above of Hillary on a V2. If anyone knows who is responsible for this act of severe disrespect, give him/her/them an earful and maybe a knuckle sandwich. The rock has been put back and reconstructed as best as possible. If someone moves it again, they better hope I don't catch them in the act, or find out who they are.
