Bouldering way up-canyon at the Top Gun Area


Description 

This is just about the last named area, where the canyon curves west and the East Rim (now facing south) becomes the North Rim. It's a great place to check out on crowded weekends because most climbers get too tired before they make it this far. It offers high easy warm-up/highballs and a few fun moderates.
As it faces south, it can be nice and warm on those cool winter days.


Getting There 

Beyond the 'Slight Inducement Area', where the trail bends west. The 'Wayko Boulder' is the first rock you come to, hugging the trail on the right side. The 'Top Gun Boulders' are also found on the right side of the trail, behind and left of the 'Wayko Boulder', just uphill in a grouping of four big boulders sitting side-by-side, outcrop style.
