If you could pick any one boulder to be in your backyard, what would it be? Something hard to work on? Something good for eliminates to make a little home gym? What would it be?

Columbia !! Wonder if the NPS would sell it :) Could add a few more campsites to camp 4 with it gone after all.

I would have to pick "The Pebble" In Stanage UK. Great piece of rock so many routes on that thing. such a mix or easy and hard routes to choose from it would be hard to get bored with it.

I've never climbed on it but I've always thought that the Red Monster from Ibex would be great to have in my backyard...I mean as my backyard.

I agree with those that said the Columbia boulder in Camp 4, but since that has been claimed, and maybe I am sick or something, but the Grandpa Peabody would be pretty cool too. :lol:

In reply to: without a doubt, MUSHROOM BOULDER!!!!!!!
Mushroom boulder is a good pick. Also, I wouldn't mind having The Penny Ante Boulder, The Fatted Calf Boulder and The Ripper Traverse in my backyard. These are all on private property that you currently have to trespass on to boulder.
So, if they end up in my backyard, you can all come use them. I'm gonna need a bigger back yard though. Haha.

Mushroom boulder would be sweet... I might actually get to finally send Mushroom Roof if that happened.
One problem: there is no way the Mushroom Boulder would fit in anyone's backyard.

An excellent question. My vote goes for the Arch-Drude boulder, way up on the hillside above Bishop, in the middle of the Druid Stones. Magical place up there, requires a daunting 45 min. slug uphill, but worth it. And, the boulder has an incredible, classic highball V4 that I never get tired of climbing. Sloped backside, walk off right to the ground. Great problem, great boulder.

Definitely the GLOBE, from Zion National Park. It is a world class boulder and if that was all I had to train on I could become one wicked 5.14, v10 climber. It is huge and it has so many lines it is ridiculous. I miss it, I think I will go back to Zion NOW!!!!!!!!< I wish

I'd go with the Mushroom boulder and that big boulder in Willow Springs at Red Rocks.

i could fit mushroom boulder in my backyard. See, first i would line the edges of my yard with really tall reinforced steel walls, then crush the boulder and have it dumped into the giant boulder-bin created by my backyard. Then, i would line the steel box with plywood and bolt on some holds so you could still "climb the boulder"
fun fun

The Mushroom Boulder would be good, and it would fit in my back yard in one piece easy. Only problem would be paying the freight to get it here.
