Description

Central Gulch is a nice little collection of river-polished rocks in a secluded side canyon. Many landings are near or in the stream, so the area is best when it is frozen or water levels are low. It seems like most of these lines are new based on the lichen scrubbing I had to do, but please let me know if they have been done before, and FA info will be changed accordingly.

Getting There

Park at Central Gulch. After crossing the river, Love Minus Zero is about 100 yards up the canyon hiker's right, and the rest of the boulders can be found following the faint trail along the stream for about 5-10 minutes.
