Hightop Boulders

   Just up the road from the Bigfoot Boulders, I discovered this outcropping via Google Earth, then used a preloaded Google maps trick to locate the top. With southern exposure and an open sky above, it gets quite hot in the summer, there are a few boulders in the shade, but the bulk of the rock is in full sun from 10 am to 7 pm. I've only done two sessions here so far, putting up ten FA's and starting some projects. 

 A four minute hike from the car, I established a trail that enables easy access with a crash pad or big pack. This past weekend, I decided to try doing a hike in campsite, it was incredible. The view of the stars from this open highground was almost too much for my tiny brain to take in. This new spot takes the number of climbing areas established by yours truly to 5 in this small little neck of the woods. When I camp up here, I'm usually sending super early in the morning when conditions are best, which means by mid afternoon I'm done climbing, yet not ready to just sit at camp. What I do then is drive forest roads, smoke beer, drink weed, listen to music, look for boulders. Obviously, sometimes I find them. The amount found seems to be comeasurate with the amount of time spent looking. All the zones I've discovered have been found in this manner, even Rock Creek and Sedum Ridge. I can't take full credit for Rock Creek as Tymun sent a few things by the roadside years ago, but all the big boys that people are sending on now I stumbled upon and started in on cleaning and trail. That's how Tymun and I met, then we joined forces and really developed what you know as Rock Creek Boulders.

  At some point, a map will go up on here, but for now it's still under development, so still semi secret.

And here's a few photos of the camp and the sunset and a moon shot and I can't wait to go back!
