Descripción

The larger of the two boulders, Big Chief's holds a power packing group of cave problems, several crimping face climbs and several thought provoking traverses

All Sit Start - Lots of Fun!

[UPDATE] There's now a bush trail sign posted in front of the cave. Some old lines may be impossible to climb. Climb with caution around the sign.

Start in the cave on the lowest jug. Make your way up with some nice crimps along the way and top out. Very nice flake over the top to help with the top out.

Same start as Project 5.

Go up to the crimp rail from the cave and make your way right to a good crimp to top out. The crimp left of the cave from Project 5 and Project 6 is out.

Same start as Long The Bison Roams. Make your way through the crack and finish up the far right arete. The top of the rock during the traverse is out.

Currently feels impossible to traverse out of the crack unless someone else can figure it out

A one move boulder problem.

Right hand on a good side pull and left in a shallow two finger pocket located right at the end of the crack. Left foot on a bit of a buldge above the tiny cave under the boulder.

Slap to the peak above and top out.

Equip: Richard C

Same start as Shorties Lament but the flat crimps above the ledge are in.

Sit start with left foot on the obvious point under the boulder and right heel in the 'L' shape jug.

Left hand begins on slightly awkward crimp with middle and ring finger sitting higher than index finger (May need a bit of feeling around to find it). Right hand on the straight white ledge.

Pull off the ground and locking off the left arm, reach for the slopey crimp. Make your way to the hand sized pocket (All the other random pocket holds above are out) and top out over the peak.

Equip: Richard C

Same sit start as the original.

From the slopey crimp reach out right to a pinch hold and walk feet over to reach a pocket located around a sloper hold. Top out using anything to the right of the pocket.

Equip: Richard C

Link Stem Junior 2 into Project 6.

Some nice back and forth movement around the arete.

Everything above the pinch and pocket level are out on the starting face of the rock. The top peak of the arete is out.
