Description
The rock quality here is as good as it gets. It is world class Granite-Gneiss bouldering ( P1P2GN - Granitoid orthogneiss and subordinate mafic gneiss and paragneiss) for the geologists . There are hundreds of problems, many of which have not be done. It's hard to estimate the total number of problems. The rock is as good as any world class destination.
There is a good mix of highballs and low balls. The landings can be quite spicy as there is a lot of talus, so extra pads and spotters wont go a stray. The approach is like 3 mins, so bring as many pads as you can get your hands on.
Getting There
Located just minutes pass Stephenville on highway 460.
There will be a turn off on your left down towards a group of trailers and cabins.
Drive down this dirt road till you reach the Scott Pollard Memorial Trail, this is where you park and the same entrance to the climb trail.
Instead of following the trail go left at the large boulder near the entrance. This trail is a bit rough and in need of maintenance, eventually it will link up with a more established trail behind a cabin. Follow the trail up the mountain.
Eventually you will come to an obvious boulder on your left go past it and there will a ladder. Area A begins at the top of the ladder.
