top 10 boulder problems

in red rocks, v6 or under. go.

Since I only ever boulder out at Kraft, this list is somewhat limited by that caveat. Here are my favorites, in order from closest to parking lot to the west end of the boulder field. By the way, names and ratings are from the 2008 Robinson book, I suck at rating things so if you disagree with the difficulty, don't know what to tell you.

Warm Up Boulder
Charleston syndrome v3
Your problem v5

Picante Roof Boulder
Picante Roof v1

Warm Up Boulder Three
Arete Left v3

Barndoor Boulder
Best v3 at Kraft v3

Burnout Boulder
Jones'n v4

Slopey Traverse Boulder
Slopey Traverse v6

Monkey Bars Boulder
Monkey Left v2
Classic Monkey v6

Sorry I could only come up with nine problems. There are others out there I have heard are good, but I only listed ones I have done.

I also blew a tendon on it a few years ago and have only given it half hearted attempts ever since. I know others like it, but with the six month layoff I got for my injury the first time I tried it in mind, I just don't think it is good enough to risk another injury (might be sour grapes on my part). By the way, I am not the only person I know who has blown out a finger on this thing.

thanks guys. i am really only interested in bouldering as a backup/social activity as there will be a bigger group of friends headed out there than i want to get on something long with, and not all of them enjoy long gear routes.

That said, I'm interested in getting on longer stuff but it looks like sun is hard to come by on many of the routes in the canyons. suggestions on south facing longer climbs?

see sticky

the pearl is way overrated. its a hard first move. thats it. and its more like V4++
