Well, the unveiling is almost here folks. This awesome local bouldering area was discovered somewhat by accident. In 2021, there was a landslide on I 84 that closed the freeway into the Gorge for a few days. That first day, I had the day off and was planning on going to Cascade Locks to boulder, when I saw that the road was closed, I remembered a conversation that Tymun and I had about his Dad seeing "huge" boulders alongside this one trail in Troutdale, that exit was accessible, so I took a hike. The idea of this place exploded the same day. We have brought several other climber/ developers in to here in the past year, it would be way to big a task for two climbers to tackle, a solid 8 person crew is basically where we ended up, and I'm sure some stronger climbers will find harder things to send out here. I'm counting 90 plus actual boulders cleaned and developed, more in the bush for sure. On April 29th, the actual location and maps will be released, so stay tuned!
