Description:

This small sector has nine shorter bolted routes (initially mostly 5.10), located roughly 200m west (left) of the climb Larry’s Groove (for now the left most completed route found at the Dust Bowl). This little venue houses over a half dozen fun warm-up lines and two, 5.11’s, with short cruxy bits to keep it interesting.

The first two routes were established over 16 years ago by Andy Genereux and Richard Melville during a one-day effort. In the spring of 2024, Andy returned building seven more routes, giving this venue a bit more appeal. The west facing cliff further west seem to hold significant potential for some more moderate entry level climbs in the sun to be established, maybe adding some much needed lower-end diversity to the mostly harder fare found in the Dust Bowl.

Moose Cove is located just a few minutes westward along this southwest facing wall from the Dust Bowl.

Directions / Travel Info:

To reach these more obscure climbs, traverse the base of the cliff using a faint rising trail heading
westward from the Dust Bowl to reach a prominent V-dip in the scree slope below a curving shorter cliff line found here.

Allow about 15 minutes to arrive here from the access road using the Dust Bowl access trail.
