Telluride Bouldering

Introduction

This new guidebook documents more than 900 problems, including 550 new climbs and 6 new areas that have never before been documented. With a range of elevations from 7,000-11,300, five different high quality rock types, and an excellent climate, Telluride bouldering offers a diversity of experiences that few areas can match. There are now problems from v0-v14, with several harder projects still awaiting an ascent. Of particular note is the increase in problems on the upper half of the grade spectrum. While the first bouldering guidebook to the area contained only a handful of problems graded v8 or harder, this edition contains over 140 climbs graded v8 and up, including around 70 double digit boulders. The book also documents a newly developed, high elevation crag with a dozen routes from 5.10a to 5.14a/b.
