Access Issue: Access is always an issue here. Details

Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

Description

Down on the east side of Panther Creek and just north of Ice Box Crack sits some great quality boulder problems with a lot of differing personality that compliments the upper shelves of Roadside Bouldering area.

The area is immediately noticeable any time you’re looking down in the creek or hiking to Ice Box. Panther Creek is usually passable but in heavy rain periods it may be impassable if you want to stay dry.

Getting There

North side approach: If you’re near Dark Star head north 30-50 yards to ease the transition downhill and then head east towards The Creek Roadside Boulders down below. The main features are easy to see on approach.

South Side Approach: from the southern parking spots or if you’re working some of the southern boulders just follow any of the trials downhill. This approach is often covered in vines and bramble so wear pants if you plan coming in this way. It’s very easy but oft overgrown.
