Luxor
Description
[Edit]Luxor hosts 10 boulder problems so far on just the 1 rock developed in the area. The shortest approach is to park one pullout downhill from Lower Mount Scott. Walk uphill around the bend and head uphill to your left. You should soon see a pyramid boulder with horizontal cracks. This is Luxor.Don’t get caught up on the grades for these lines - upgrade them and downgrade them according to your experience and opinion.Most of these lines fit the FA’s style and climbing 15-18’ is pretty normal activity. While we tried to be as objective as possible the height and footwork can probably make some of the lines feel heady and likely harder than the moves are. Bring 2-3 pads and spotters. Warm up on the backside traverse and ease into the problems if you’re more comfortable in the 8-12’ range.For a decent sized group and most climbers the 10 lines on this boulder will really provide a good session all in one spot and tap your Power Endurance. With the three faces, three sets of climbers can work the lines and not get in each other’s way. :) The climbs are organized L-R starting from Cut Your Hair Get A Job which is the farthest left climb on the southeastern face and they proceed right to the northern face which starts with PTERD and then wrap to the western overhung face which starts with Steal Ropes Do Acid and finishes with E Rock V2+ (Stroked Out).Enjoy!Please work and develop the nearby cracks and boulders. Crucible Bouldering is uphill from this boulder but may be easier accessed from Pirates Landing / Crucible parking at different times of year.Once the area is more developed Luxor Boulder could be recategorized in the general area accessed from this parking pullout when it earns a fitting name.
