Deadwood Bouldering

This is the portion of Hemlock ledges developed by boulderers, generally centered around the Hand of Man Cave and to the left.

The Hand of Man Cave, known especially for Work of Man V11 and the classic V3 roof crack Manhandled is roughly right of center of the ledges and should be pretty obvious as the blocky cave structure up the hill as you approach Hemlock.

To the left of the cave there is a break and there is an overhanging bouldering wall up the hill a bit with a couple nice easy warm-ups on the right and Supernormal V9 on the left.

Moving further left the wall reconstitutes itself, generally being about 25 feet tall and up to ~32' and covered with holds. Use you best judgment on whether you want to throw a TR up or highball /solo or do some short trad leads. There are many trees up top for anchors (and a couple bolted ones currently). There is a lot of mostly easy traversing potential along the base if you bring some scrubbing tools.

Beyond TR anchors, we have so far been avoiding bolting routes on this side of the ledge to avoid grid bolting and to allow for some challenge even though the height is modest and most of the climbing is pretty easy. Maybe scrub something up and do a headpoint?. TRs are nice too, as, with all the holds, you don't feel tied to a line of bolts and can explore more of the wall.

Be aware that most of the wall has not been extensively cleaned and it is damp a lot, so holds can pop off unexpectedly.
