Dru - I think that’s the one!  The last time we went there, it was all blocked off due to the fire.  Maybe more boulders are in the open now…

The big boulder is the only one you can see from the road, but walk into it and you’ll see more boulders uphill right and left.  There are lots of little bunches of boulders extending for 200 meters or so across the hill.

Let me know what you find, and happy hunting.  I’d like to make a trip up there sometime this summer, I could probably bring a scrub brush, maybe a couple of mats…

Hey Trent

I went to the Orchard yesterday, take some loppers if you go. The underbrush is ferocious there, a lot of alders and blackberry bushes need to be pruned back to access the rocks.

I was a little bit disappointd, we only found 6 or 7 climbable boulders there. Many were just too small for bouldering on. Maybe more were hidden in the overgrown brush jungle, though. We only gave it an hour or so because we were on our way back from Nahatlatch Lakes, where we found a BIG granite boulderfield right off the logging road at 30 km mark, with a campsite next to the lake literally on the other side of the road. You should check it out.

Nahatlatch FSR I believe. Just drive to the 3rd lake (Nahatlatch Lake) and look uphill. You can see the road and lake in the photo. Some bad landings. I climbed a V0 and V0+ in my approach shoes and spent about two hours hiking around and checking things out. Some really impressive, hard looking lines to do. The rock is blank in places and featured in others.
