Description
Very first area at Powerlinez. A collection of 4-6 boulders featuring roughly 20-30 climbs. This area is sometimes referred to as the Road Boulders, but formally named Welcome Boulders. The Welcome Boulders area includes; Torch Boulder, Flight From Doom, Hey Up There Boulder, Pete's Prow (Repete Boulder) Tarzan Swing and the area ends with Oliphant Boulder.
Time: 5 minutes - 15 minutes depending on your pace and your carry load.
All of these boulders in this area are well covered by trees, but after a rain shower, they are the first to dry.
The rock is the same as any you would find throughout Powerlinez.
Welcome Boulders are a great place to start your day at Powerlinez, featuring some great climbs ranging mostly from V0-V4, but the quantity of climbs conatined at the Welcome Boulders can sustain multiple, full day bouldering trips.
