PONDEROSA BOULDERS - Arrow Lake, B.C

Jonah on COBRA KAI V4

The new and improved Ponderosa Boulders; probably two of the biggest and baddest two boulders I've come across in the area!! For the past few years this area consisted of one really sweet tall boulder with 8 climbs of beautiful face climbing; but a bigger, badder and meaner piece of rock the size of a house (literally) loomed above. Requiring tons of labour to free the walls from it's dense foliage, the boulder sat untouched for 2 years; until the spring of 2017. After about a month of work with help from several keen friends willing to sacrifice actual climbing time for cleaning bush and lichen, a masterpiece was uncovered!!!

20 move problems, tall featured faces, good landings, aesthetic climbing, beautiful rock and almost 30 lines, this area is destined to become one of the best!! You hit the Ponderosa Boulder first to warm up on impeccable rock, then you get to bust uphill 1 more minute to the Fukushima Boulder to test your mettle on some of the finest bouldering around. Hope you enjoy all the amazing climbing we uncovered! Included here is the guide/topo for your (free) printing pleasure. ENJOY
