Alpine Bouldering in Sonora Pass

talus field from the top

and after all that hiking, the view out




Josh under the gem - this boulder has 5-6 lines - two have gone: sweet sixteen V8/9 FA Sander - which goes straight up from where Josh is; and semisweet V8/9 which starts same as SS and goes right and up. The right arete possibly goes (V14+) and is an amazing and pure line. The problem to the left of SS is in the V12 range. There are several more lines to the left of that.

Sander on the FA of the beautiful 'sweet sixteen'.

Josh on the crux of the v12 to the left of SS.
