Description Suggest change

The Wiley Thompson Boulder is often the first boulder at Beardsley for climbers visiting the area for the first time.  It is also one of the nicer boulders found at Beardsley, with easy access, flat landings, and a nice array of problems that run from 5.8 up to V6 and good holds all the way to tiny crimps that will make your tips cry. The standard descent from the summit of Wiley is down the northwest corner of the boulder on big holds.

Getting There Suggest change

The Wiley Thompson Boulder is found right off the left side of the main trail, just south of the wall of the industrial facility located nearby. It is easy to identify and usually chalked up.
