June 2019 Update: Per the SMCC: We contacted the landowners who posted “No Trespassing” signs at the entrance to the northern access at Allenspur (where there is an easement, held by SMCC since 2005). The landowners will amend the signs to recognize that access to BLM lands is allowed through the easement. Please do your part and respect the landowners property - the easement is to access BLM lands, NOT the river. Also, the landowners have noted, and are concerned, that people are building campfires in Crystal Cave. It is dry and windy at Allenspur and an escaped campfire would be nothing but trouble. Please do not build fires, and if you see campfire rings, please make sure the fire is out cold and then scatter the rocks to discourage future fires.
May 2019 Update: “No Trespassing” signs have recently been posted at the entrance to the northern access at Allenspur. To clarify, the easement that controls that access (held by SMCC since 2005) is still in place. The signs are discouraging climbers and hikers from their rightful use of the trail that accesses public BLM land.
Another access exists to the south. It is controlled by a different landowner that allows us the privilege of crossing their land. They have requested that people not bring dogs across their property. If you have been bringing your dog through that property, please stop. Right now, it is imperative that we respect the lawful requests of landowners.

Description
Sunny, southwest facing, limestone, sport climbing. Excellent views of Paradise Valley. The rock varies from excellent black dolomite to the lighter variety which still can be very good. Climbing is possible year round here but probably best in the spring and fall. Most of the routes are 5.9-5.11 with some newer routes currently being established on the larger part of the Main Crag.
Access: Allen Spur access is fragile and much effort has gone into keeping the climbing open. Be careful, clean, and courteous. Stick to established trails and show respect for the land owners and their property. Leave no trace.

Getting There
5 miles south of Livingston on US 89, left on East river road and park at the fishing access. Use the new trail, now much shorter, that follows East river road and goes directly up to the Boundary Crag.
A few things to remember about accessing the crags:
-Park at the Carter's Bridge fishing access, not on East River Road where the trail turns up towards the crag.
-From the Carter Bridge Fishing Access Site, walk east and south down East River Road for 250 yards. Turn east and follow the climbers trail up to the base of Boundry Crag.
-No dogs allowed on this approach. Please obey posted signs.
-Do not trespass onto any other portion of the private property.
-The trail is for foot traffic only. No motorized vehicles or bikes.
-Look for the well marked trails signs and cairns.
The new trail access is shorter than the older trail. Please abide by these guidelines!
