Bear Trap Canyon Boulders

Sam and I had big plans to climb the standard route up Neat rock, but we were getting signs to do something else. The first sign that climbing multipitch trad might be a bad idea came from mother nature's rain storm. That one is fairly obvious. However, we picked up a hitch-hiking fly fisherman from Blacks Fjord who needed to go to the Warm Springs launch. The Warm Springs boat launch is also the trailhead to some of the coolest boulders on the Maddy that I had never been to so voila! There we went. And a bouldering we did go! These boulders have seen traffic before, but we did muscle some old dead trees and large rocks around which may have opened up some virgin routes. This is a very pretty place to hike to and hang out at the very least. And go figure, Im climbing with Sam and the weather turned sour. Whats the deal Sam!

A sweet crack right off the ground.

The main patch (3 boulders)

My favorite boulder.

Gneiss boulder on the left and Slate(?) on the right. Clearly two different types of rock.

Bringing the floaties next time so we can float back to the car.
