Atlantis Bouldering

The entire area consists of 4 sections; Eastern Atlantis, Central Atlantis, Upper Atlantis and Western/Outer Atlantis. With close to 170+ established problems and the farthest problem in Western Atlantis being no more than a 5 minute walk from the Eastern side, Atlantis is the most condensed and established bouldering area in all of Tram. From lowball choss problems, gritty and grainy rock reminiscent of central Joshua Tree, to perfectly cut overhanging aretes, slabs, crimp lines and slopers galore, there’s a little bit of something for everyone and every style (even little kids!).

The area has a lot more pests than I’ve noticed in other places around Tram. Specifically: spiders, ants and tons of mosquitoes. Probably due to lack of significant traffic and what appears to be a small stream bed (water bearing toward the end of Winter/early Spring time).

Shading varies for most of the area depending on time of year. Some problems get shade all day (Anthony’s Boulder) where some only get morning shade during Summer (half the Black Manta Boulder), and some gets spurts of shade and sun all day (Ares Boulder). Toward Fall/Winter, the majority of the area stays shaded throughout the day, with open areas providing sunny relief from the cold. Shading is noted per boulder for the first half of the year going into Summer.

Props and love to my brothers and sisters who've helped establish the area: Anthony Lagunay (Laggy), Chasen Sugimoto, Gavin Lively, Ran Agregado, Nigel Napoles and Christina Miramontes; making this a collaborative effort between Sender One SNA and The Factory/H18.
