Finally!

    It's been a long time since someone has written a post about the bouldering here in little ol' Juneau Alaska. This blog is here to share the latest climbing news in our little town. Hope you enjoy and hopefully this will help anyone visiting to know that they should bring their rock shoes.
   So whats happening right now? Lots! In the past 7 years there has been an explosion of development on the local blocs. Around town there are two primary rock types:

Tuff
Dylan Miller Climbing Love not Lost at Freddys
and Granite
The Author's hand on Special Sandwich.
A problem located on one of the many glacial erratics of the East Glacier Trail.
   Along with the different kinds of rock we have we also have different environments ranging from dark, dank temperate rain forests to alpine meadows that are only accessible for a 2 or 3 months a year.

   We also have a nice spectrum of grades from v1 to v12 and some pretty lofty projects. Please note while the climbers in town get out and travel to different areas we are isolated and grades are always just an estimate and it doesn't matter anyways!!!!

   This is just an overview of what our little town has to offer. As time goes on I intend to update with recent information and upcoming events at our local gym. Please feel free to contact me if you're visiting. We are always happy to share what rock we have. For your stoke here is a video of a traverse that I established this season called the Epoch Traverse. Its located at the Tee Harbor Boulders on the Warm-up boulder. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more!
