Description Suggest change

Upcanyon from the world class Area A, Area B is a nice talus-field which hosts a few dozen nice boulders, the most noteworthy being Sunseeker. This zone holds a little more snow than Area A, making the season a little shorter. Still, this sector is a major attraction and more than worthwhile.

Getting There Suggest change

There are a few ways to get to Area B, and it depends on what boulder you aim to try. For most climbs, follow a climbers trail leading under/beyond Seurat in the trees for a few minutes, until running into the classic Gorillas in the Mist (V10). For Sunseeker (especially early in the season), hike to Dali Wall, past Big Worm, and under the cliffs for 15-20m until running into the boulder.
