Description Suggest change

This area is known as "The Danger Dam" Area. There was a sign across from the boulder warning about the Dam in the creek below. This is by far the best bouldering area in the city. It has many problems from v1 to v8. There any eliminate variations. There is a proud traverse of the entire area "There and Back Again" V6. (- Rich Shoemaker)

Getting There Suggest change

At the top of the hill on Lincoln Drive bike path, between Ridge Avenue and the 100 Steps.
