Beaver Creek

Well the outdoor bouldering season is about over. Soon the weather will start dumping mountains of snow, and all the mountain roads will be closed till spring. Up here in Cache Valley the we climbing as much as we can outside until it is absolutely too cold or too much snow to reach the boulders and cliffs. However, since the winter change hasn't hit us yet, we have been making the best of what we can. We have been establishing an area called Beaver Creek. This area is the only actual bouldering area within 100 miles. One of my friends named Trevor heard about this area from a local who was moving out of Logan and wanted to spread the word before he left. Trevor with the help of a few of his friends scoured the mountain side for three days before coming across the first boulder. Since first discovering the area we have established 35+ problems and in the short time we have been working up there this year we put 20 of those. We have only been able to make it up there on Saturday's, but we have high hopes for establishing next year.




This is one of the projects for the remainder of the season and next season. We have dubbed it the double stuff project and it follow right up the white streak and tops out at the high point. It could very possibly be one of the first double digit boulder problems in the area.




This is the other major project up at Beaver Creek! Trevor has been calling it the Prow-D Project for going on five years now. There used to be a gigantic rock stuck in the ground below the sit start of the boulder, but after a few broken car jacks, a com-a-long, and brutal man power we were able to remove it. The problem starts in the lower right of the boulder and hugs the right arete all the way to the top. It is also a possible contender for a double digit problem.
