bouldering

there is a decent bouldering spot with free standing gneiss boulders out by pearl about 45min east of town. Drive east to pearl, note the rest stop on the north side of the highway. about 100m past this there is a gravel driveway heading N, this accesses a quarry from behind and is the alternate entrance (from the quarry you would hike south east to the cliff band and boulders). about 200m farther east on the highway there will be a lake on your right, park in the pulloff before the lake and hike across the highway and up onto a plateau with small free standing pink boulders over flat ground. some traversing problems have been scrubbed and a few four or five move problems. more exploration to the north will uncover a 45 degree wall about 100m wide and a couple of neat access routes up and down. A fun day of exploring if the bugs are not bad! Tell me if you like it, if not I'll send you somewhere else.
