This is another angle of a huge boulder that has some water running through it on the other side. There is a nice place to walk up to it....but not easily topped. It's really blank.....I've got to hand it to Jon for even spotting this one out..... This is definitly one way to get your climbing fix in.

This is Jon Derr pulling the skin off his fingers in the middle of Janualy. Even in the middle of the river he finds some pretty ridiculous climbs and moisture doesn't stop him.

John Derr putting up the first assent on "Pulling away from the Devels grasp" on the "Spear Gun Boulder". A really impressive assent on this beautyful V7 located in the Old Miners Trail area.

This is probably the biggest of all of the waterfalls in the Old Miners trail area. Its really nice to be able to climb in an area with such beauty.

John is matched on the slopy jug just be for reaching for the finishing crimpers on the lip. A pretty difficult problem, all of the holds are very water polished.

This is John Derr making the first assent on "The Perfect Rail" located on the "Rim of the Cradle" boulder. He has been chomping at the bit to do a lot of the lines in the old miners trail. We cleaned them off a while ago but this is the first that conditions have been good in this area for a while.

This problem is located on the opposite side of "The Perfect Rail". We didn't send this problem today but the line is ripe for the picking. A really cool problem located in the midst of a beautiful stream running down the mountain side.

This is a pic of John working on a new project called slither. Its named this because of the odd way you start the problem. Obviously one of the most beautyful settings in the area.

These are just a few of the amazing boulders located just along the old miners trail of Rock Run. There are many undeveloped routes on all three of these boulders all of which will be classics. In this picture is just one of the many waterfalls in the stream that the old miner's trial follows. Blood Orchid is the smaller boulder on the left. The one in the middle is called the Spear Gun boulder and the one on the right is Noah's prow
