International > N America > Canada > British Columbia > Fraser Valley > Fraser Canyon > Gold Rush > Gold Roche Boulder

Description

Start with left hand on the concave surface and right on small crimp. Bump right to good hold. Move all the way to the right and up to a nice gaston and good top out.

Roche means rock in french and is pronounced the same as rush. Simple play on words due to my french canadianesse.

This was the first boulder problem established in the canyon. I had been working on cleaning that boulder through the winter rains and starting to make trails to the other boulders prior to that.
