Is Convenience Driven Your Bouldering Motto

Stuck in a rut, still pounding the same ol' treadmill?
Grouping it out to the Empire Boulders again (even after goin' there 3-6 times this year already).
If its startin' to sound like a sheer dependence on convenience....let's hope not.
We can understand some of the "empire" hooked thing....its got superb bouldering.
There's a better way....just expand your options horizon a bit.

From the I-205 / I-84 freeway junction in Portland the drive time to various select bouldering sites:

  • Empire Boulders = 50-minute drive
  • Lost Lake Boulders = 2 hours drive
  • Larch Mtn Boulders = 40-minute drive (wow that's close!)
  • Annex Boulders = 40-minute drive (wow also close!)
  • Cascade Boulders = yep same as the Annex....
  • Bridge of the Gods Boulders = 40-minute drive
  • High Rocks Boulders = 90-minute drive

And the list goes on......
