Description

Yeah just as one might think, The Big Ditch has endless bouldering. Where else can you climb on quartzite, sandstone, limestone and yes even some granite all in the same day?
Rock quality for bouldering is typically pretty good. With hundreds of miles of rock, sure some choss exists.
On this addition of Mountain project, I highly encourage any and all contributions to the endless sea of boulders strewn across this desert canvas.
Thanks and Enjoy!!!

Getting There

Drive, fly or boat. Most approaches, like with any climbing in the Grand, are pretty involved. Amazing bouldering exists Just a stones throw away, all along the rim in a mind blowing setting!!!
