Corwina Park

Chris took me to a 'secret' boulder off of 74 before the town of Kittredge in Corwina Park. It is hardly a secret as it is less than a 2 minute hike from the trailhead, but I had never heard of anyone climbing this boulder before. Perhaps it is the lack of hard problems that exist on it, but there is a nice highball in the v3-v5 range. Matt and I got on it, but neither of us were psyched enough to send. It is interesting that it is the same quality of gneiss that is found in the park. If there weren't more diverse destinations close by, I would probably frequent this boulder often.

nothing hard, eh? boo.

rufus had mentioned this joint a long while back, but it kept slipping my mind to actually check out.

generally, rufus climbs your face off with hard moves.

thusly, i kinda expected that there are some tricky rigs up there. no? r u sure?

plz tell. it can be secret.

We tried all the obvious lines, and sent most within 5 - 10 burns. Certainly nothing in the double digit range, unless it is contrived eliminate madness. It is worth going to for the tall ball pictured above if nothing else. The climbs there are worthy of your time that I am sure of.
