Description Suggest change

If you’re looking for something to climb other than spooky highballs, thin traverses, and decomposing/sharp rock, you should experience Are You Experienced. This boulder is the obvious chalk covered, gray and red rock to the southwest of the Old Man. Most problems are burly, crimpy, slopey, and somewhat desperate as the rock is in the sun most of the day except for morning.

Descend via a short downclimb/step across towards the hillside. Recommend scoping it out before trying it for the first time.

Please reference Jim Thornburg's guide for a much more comprehensive problem listing, history, and information.

Getting There Suggest change
