The Ravine
Climb Review:
I arrived at the south end of The Ravine boulders via Mammoth Creek Road. There were a few parking spots perfectly placed with established trails leading to the boulders.
The boulders were easy to spot and there were dozens if not more than a hundred routes.
There was zero trash, and the place was very clean.
I ended up climbing about a dozen routes, successfully climbing about ten of them (I would guess V-easy to V1). The other two were either V1 or V2 routes that I banged my head against until I gave up.
Because I had a late start, the rocks who were facing the south were warm to the touch, but there were plenty of routes with rocks that faced north (and thus were shaded and cool).
What Happened?
I wanted to check out some easy boulders near Mammoth Lakes, so I headed over to The Ravine, which I found via mountainproject.net. I put on my climbing shoes, chalked my hands, and climbed over the crash pad that I had brought.
I tried to follow the description on mountainproject.net, but I couldn’t figure out what route was what, so I just climbed whatever looked fun. After about an hour, it was just too hot to climb (80+ degrees), so I headed back to my car.
