Above Boulder/Cliff Band

Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Nine Mile Hill > Nine Mile Bould… > Four Blocks Bouldering

Description

Above is a smaller boulder that is actually just one segment of the uppermost cliff line of Four Blocks. The rock quality is solid and uniquely gritty for the area. The landings for the boulder are good. The west face is the climbable side and has potential for several problems.

Getting There

From the Four Blocks parking area, climb east up the hill to the cliff band. There is some scrambling required at the cliff band, but it doesn't get too crazy. Gain the upper plateau, and the next cliff band will be another 30 yards. Reference the page map for an exact location.
