Re: WILD!!

You're looking at the bottom half of this boulder. There are actually a couple routes on this. I've never done them.
I had my wife act like she's keeping the boulder from rolling over.
We are going to get a ton of rain starting on Monday. They're talking about upwards of 15-20 inches in the mountains. If the roads are still open, I really like to take some waterfall photos.

Re: WILD!!

Arizona is gearing up for big weather, also!

When it hits, the roads become a trecherous
"skating rink," so I'll probably end up
seeking refuge in a coffee shop.

Have fun out there, Marc !!!

Holy Guacamole !!

I've never seen anything like it. Routes, I gotta see it to believe it.

Why, even with my Oran Utan arm span, I ain't got a chance!!

Re: Holy Guacamole !!

Hi Ray, well, not to worry, you don't boulder on this one. There are actually a couple of routes on this boulder, but they are lead routes, not boulder problems. So, you still have a chance.

Re: Awesome photo!

Don Juan Boulder is impressive, but you have much better things to look at, such as South Astro Dome. This is a landmark on your way to the Astro Domes. Now, those are impressive.
