House Boulder

Description 

Large bluff line with big sandstone boulders scattered about. Established problems are all over, but there is still lots to explore, and hard stuff to be done. Access is good, you can see some boulders from the road.

Really cool and interesting area. Some of the rock like the house boulder is pretty high quality for Wisconsin and has a quartzite/sandstone feel to it. These boulders have really cool grassy landings.

Much of the rocks on the bluffs is more reminiscent of Governor Dodge in that the quality of the rocks is lower and more sandstone-y.

The boulders here are quite amazing and exactly the opposite of the Dodge in quality. I agree that the cliff line is about Dodge quality though. Great area! Great concentration of quality boulder problems.

Can this be split into Area's please?

I suggest, "House Boulder Area", "Sawyer's Boulder", "Main Cliff West", "Main Cliff East", "Star Destroyer Area" and "Kutcher's Bluff".

Sorry, in the Black Hills. Good idea. I can create and populate the areas, and assign them to you Nick to order the routes and write the descriptions? I will get to this when I get back in early July.
