The High Road
V7 boulder · 30 ft · ★★★☆
First ascent: Matt Kirk, 1996
Description
Sit start on big chalked sideways undercling type hold. Work out on the left side of the cave on a series of crimps and top out on jugs.
Location
Starts in the back of the obvious cave feature of this boulder.
Protection
A few pads in the cave would be nice.
Access
The 13-mile Scenic Drive requires a timed-entry reservation October to May and has seasonal gate hours. Calico Basin and Kraft Mountain sit outside the Scenic Drive and need no reservation.
Wet rock: Aztec sandstone loses much of its strength when wet. Do not climb for at least 24 to 48 hours after rain or snowmelt, or holds break off and routes are permanently damaged.
