The Highlands

The Highlands bouldering sits on the ridge above Balcony Jr. The guide to the climbing in The Highlands is another example of a personal drive to climb anything and everything. There are some really good problems in the Highlands. For example the #1 super project at Harpers is in the Highlands. If there was a piece of stone in the woods that I could fit my body under and then climb up and over I mapped it. When you visit The Highlands hit the bigger boulders and leave the lowball one move wonders for the future when you have climbed everything classic or semi classic and need something new to do. I have placed XXXXXXX on the problem list to focus your efforts on the quality climbing on bigger boulders. Enjoy.
