Description

Upper Animal World is home to a host outoutstanding hard climbs. This is a top destination for 5.12 sport climbers in Boulder Canyon. The rock faces east and has more shade than other parts of Animal World.

Getting There

Park in the same pullout as the Boulderado (8.5 miles up the canyon, the large parking is on the left just after a long sweeping right turn in the road), walk up the road past the Boulderado cliff, and find the trail at the "Slow Vehicles Stay Left" sign. Follow a trail straight up the hill until it branches right (look for cairns) above the Boulderado. Cross easy slabs, and go across level-ish terrain until you get to the routes of the Lower Animal World.

Pass all the routes and when they peter out, just continue east on the trail a couple hundred yards staying mostly level (don't go uphill to Middle Animal World).
