Boulder Quad

Post by Mindy »

Has anyone here finished the Boulder Quad? Considering this to be a goal to finish with my family over the next few months and wondering if it is viable.

Any information appreciated.

Thanks!

Some have finished this quad, not me though. The biggest problem you will find is that many "peaks" are on private property.

On Lists of John, there are 22 people who have finished the ranked peaks. Definitely a few of them post here.

And 3 people who have finished everything in LoJ, but none that I know of that is here:

If I recall 3 of the 6 (ranked anyways) are private.

**edit: If you move one quad north (Lyons) there are some that are a bit more fun/interesting/public. (Well, kinda public...)

Doesn't look too terrible, at least not with some climbing experience. Good luck!
