Tucson, AZ - Gates Pass Bouldering

posted by Saucisson #3

Climbers - Angie, Joe, Calvin and Soph (picture-taker extraordinaire)

Here are some pictures from our rainy day break (Day 4). Cochise Stronghold became an impossibility with a bad forecast and we decided to head out for some hiking and some bouldering.

Joe took us to Gates Pass, a nice, scenic area 15 min away from town. Soph took some great pictures (which are in the Cacti post) and Joe, Ang and I had fun bouldering a little. We spent some time doing some established V0-V2's, then did some fun eliminates before heading over to another boulder. There, we worked on a few higher-off-the-ground problems in the V1-V4/5 range. Joe casually lapped me a few times while I struggled on a cool sideways problem.

Here are some pics. The rest of the album for the day is here.
