New Pictures, New Topos, Better Directions!

In late October, 1999, I was looking for a place to get lunch when I noticed some boulders on the side of the road. Andrew Barco and I came back a week later and "discovered"  many fine lines hidden throughout the forest. Further exploration uncovered numerous boulders and outcrops, with a whole range of fun problems. I don't know very much about the history of climbing in Seven Falls, but I do know that its a great place to go bouldering.

This map is not to scale, but it's more of an adventure that way.
Black Shapes are boulders and outcrops.
Red Numbers are numbered boulders.
Purple Boxes denote different regional topo maps.
