The Wash Boulders Climbing

This mostly-new area has been recently developed into a worthy destination. Located very close to New Joe’s proper; but with a shadier aspect, this area is a nice change of pace and offers many nice moderate problems along with a few harder lines and potential for more. I see no access issues with this area and no reason not to publish it here. As far as I can tell these boulders are mostly on USFS land, with some of the approach on BLM land. The parking and approach go nowhere near any existing oil infrastructure or roads. In addition, the approach and boulders are mostly in a sandy wash, so erosion concerns are minimal. Most blocks face NE-ish and get afternoon shade. Although the lowest-hanging fruit has been picked, there’s a lot of potential left out here from immaculate V0 slabs to futuristic-looking V-Hard highballs. All of the established problems have seen limited ascents, so expect a slightly fresh feel and take all grades with a grain of salt. I’m happy to adjust grades as consensus emerges. Unlike New Joe’s, this area holds moisture for a while after rain. Please do not climb here if the sand in the wash is wet at all.
