Description

On the road from Nome toward the village of Teller there are several small outcrops that provide limited bouldering. The outcrops are easily seen from the Nome-Teller Highway and generally face south.

Bouldering has occurred here since at least 2004 and probably much earlier.

Getting There

Drive north on the Nome-Teller Highway from Nome for about ten miles and you'll start to see the small outcrops. These outcrops start just past Anvil Mountain (the mountain immediately north of Nome with the Cold War radar reflectors on top [aka "White Alice"]) and generally are on the right (north/northeast) side of the road.
