Description Suggest change

Wonderland is a case study on if you can manufacture a 4-star day out of a lot of 2-star climbing. Turns out, it seems like you can!

Largely a slab climber's paradise, Wonderland actually features a phenomenal variety of rock and climbing styles with well over 250 pitches of climbing established so far. A junction point of the featureless slab typical of the North Fork, featured granite of Staunton and Devil's Head and Tarryall, granitic gneiss of the Mt. Blue Sky basin, and some cracks and to boot - Wonderland has something for just about everyone (except for those looking for state-wide testpieces on a rope...for now). The separation here will mirror the bouldering climbing separations as well as the separation within the guidebook: Wonderland North, South, Castle View, and Lucy's.

As with the rest of the Wonderland region, seriously consider the impact that sharing a route/problem may have not just on the immediate crag/boulder but also on the general area and the traffic it will receive. Most of the climbing out here is not and likely will not be documented on MP. These entries are simply here in case something is shared.

Getting There Suggest change

Approaches vary per region/problem, but generally you start from the Miller Gulch and Buck Gulch Trailheads.
