Access Issue: Private Property - Waiver Required
Details
Download waiver here: David Boslee via Ken: drive.google.com/file/d/1S2….
From the land owner: I am Michael Frazier owner of the Puoux climbing area. A few things I need to clarify. We want Everyone to feel welcome. We are asking everyone to fill out waivers for two reasons. The first is obvious. To cover our behinds. The second reason is to help us keep Interstate access open by showing C Dot historical access. I would like to see the waiver forms posted on this page. The other thing I would like to address is that we would like to be notified of any modifications of trails , platforms, and routes before they have began. Under no circumstances do we want rock chipping for hold placement. If you can't climb it as it is please choose another climb that is easier or improve your technique. One more thing. We have never issued trespassing tickets and I would like that taken off the description at the top of this page.
Description
This is purple in the beta photo.
This route is on the tall pointy boulder in the center of the amphitheater. It climbs friendly water sculpted edges that are so good you would think that they are indoors. The crux is between the 1st and 2nd bolt. It involves a flat ledge (the rest are incut). Once you have stemmed out between a ledge and a good sharp left foothold, you are into a rest. The route has great moves and great holds and is one of the best 5.5s that I have climbed. What is the significance of the letter V? 1. It's a big boulder. 2. It's the Roman numeral for 5. Get it?
This is the first of a series of new beginner/intermediate routes on the boulder. The boulders are ideal for beginners and large groups of kids because most of the routes are short and easy and it is easy to set a lot of topropes very quickly by scrambling up the backs of the boulders on the uphill sides.
Location
The route is located at the top of the cleft between the 2 boulders on the north face of the big boulder.
Protection
Four bolts or a big pad and 2 spotters. If you decide to boulder it, don't fall after half way. The anchor is 2 rap hangers over the lip of the boulder. Two long quickdraws will do well for an anchor, but an equalized 24" runner with lockers on the hangers will do even better. It is a good place to teach beginning climbers to rap off of an anchor rather than lower.
