Description Suggest change

The Burma Road Bouldering area feels a bit like the Reserve.  There are plenty of good, classic lines, it’s a short approach and there are just as many climbs as the Reserve.  On top of that the quartzite melds with sandstone in spots, which is great and unique.

These boulders, however, offer a good chance for a quick workout as the approach is simple and the landings are generally good.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive about halfway down Burma Road, about 1.1 mile from the intersection of Burma Road and South Shore Road., While driving you will see a tree on your right that formally had a steel cable around it, the scar still remains. Park there. A faint trial will be to your left.
Walk east, straight into the woods. You should see the boulders in about five minutes.
