Joyland Boulders Climbing

The Joyland area is a small cluster of sandstone boulders (and craggy outcroppings) nestled in a shady aspen grove with mostly flat landings.

Currently, there are only a handful of boulders and (mostly moderate) problems that have been cleaned and climbed, but more potential exists to continue opening more difficult lines on the classic "Slightly Floating' Boulder and a few other blocks in the surrounding area. The short and slabby 'Candy Walls' Boulder has many fun slab / arete problems and is great if you are out climbing solo or with the kids. The prominent 'Joyland' Boulder has an excellent collection of warm-up problems and link-ups on all four sides and is a great place to start your journey up Hillside Drive on your way to other crags or for a chill day bouldering in a beautiful and lush sub-alpine setting.

Future development: There are a number of other boulders / lines above and around the craggy outcroppings and on the other side of the road that may hold future climbing potential, but are currently a bit of a bushwhack from the main cluster currently being developed to receive any serious attention.

Have fun exploring, and don’t forget your pads and scrub brushes!
