Bouldering at Pocketopia - despite the rain and sn...


Description 

Pocketopia is an ideal bouldering venue with generally flat landings and rock with an abundance of pockets.


Getting There 

On reaching Tom's Place on the 395 take the East turn and drive passed a few houses. After about 4 miles on this road you'll reach Crowley Lake Dam. Cross over the Dam and turning right head up the road (take care as the road narrows). Once at the top of the hill the road turns to dust. After 1.3 miles take the obvious right turn onto the 4S03. Follow this road for just over 3 miles, until you come to a steeper section of road with a switchback. The Pocketopia escarpment is on either side of you.

Continue on for 400 yards until possible to turn right onto a faint track - follow this for a further 1/2 mile until you can see the boulders.

Start down low at the horizontal crack. Stay clear of the boulder on the left, and make tricky moves out onto the steep wall. Make a long reach up to a good pocket and then finish directly over the nose.Spectacular....[more]
