Description

Great bouldering to be found all around the Balanced Rock Trail, and in the rim rock at the top of the trail.

There are a number of well-known problems along the trail itself:

Warm Up, Groth Arete, Balanced Rock, Heel Hooking, Lou Reed

Baker's Stash is the boulder field to the left of the trail, reaching up to Balanced Rock Wall, Francesca's Pillar, and Right Balance.

Trail Mix is in the line of trees that separates the boulder field to the right of the trail from the Grottos Talus.

In the rim rock to the north is Black Rhino. In the rim rock to the south is Bulbous.

Getting There

For most of these problems hike up Balanced Rock Trail from the South Shore. See the individual boulders for details.

For Baker's Stash, head up along the railroad tracks and turn up into the first boulder field.
