Big Bend Boulders

Just outside of Moab, UT, and sitting just a hundred yards from the Colorado River, the Big Bend Boulders are in a pretty sweet spot. Big chunks of Wingate sandstone that have fallen from the towering cliffs above, these boulders are just begging to be climbed. Aesthetic and very geometric -with perfect right angles, splitter cracks and parabolic scoops - these are some of the prettiest boulders I've ever climbed on. Consisting of maybe 10 good boulders, it isn't a huge area, but most every problem is real good, and there are some amazing classics.






Mushroom Boulder (juggy overhangs and fun traverses):




Big Block Boulder (great crimpy and technical problems):




Circus Trick v4/5 (cool dyno problem):




Chaos v8 (slopers into cool dihedral):
