A great climb on a beautiful boulder. Climb up the flake and arete using perfect jugs to an amazing top out.

One of the best here. Climb (right to left) the beautiful arete on awesome holds

Stand start below the backside downclimb on a RH side pull. Climb left to gain a positive hold. Tackle the slab and top out on friendly holds. :3

Stand start and work up and right to a slopey and technical top out. Climbs underneath a fallen tree. One of the better problems here.

such a fun route. Start as low as you want and work up the arete to nice and tall top out

This is a great problem. Sit start with a crappy crimp and side pull... I believe. Make hard slaps up to opposing large side pulls and top out. Super Cool!

From the stand, propel yourself up the wrinkles with smears. Top out on victory jugs. Great sustained and technical moves on awesome rock.

I believe this was the first route cleaned in the area. Crimp and undercling your way up the beautiful face to an excellent top out.

Wander up the cleanish slab to the left of dr. dan's 4 star arete. I remember there being really cool holds.

The only problem on this giant bloc. Start on a jug rail, make awkward moves to the obvious pocket in the seam and top out

Sit star on slopey holds and finish up the classic slab/arete

Climb along the ledge leading up the finish of le tangent. Large seam in the back.

a silly problem that really isn't bad. Slab up the end of the boulder. Lowball with good rock.

I don't remember this one well, but i know it's a bit tricky with a good top out. Sit start

Sit start on jugs, work left to the arete and pop to the lip. A nice low warmup to get you ready for the taller blocs in the area 

This problem is on the big round boulder along the forest road. Starts in a slot on the left side of a tree. I remember using a cool undercling and a nice edge.

Start on really cool undercling crimps, work left to meet up with Dr. Dan's 4 Star Arete.

sit start on jugs. work up and left along sloping rails to a hard sequence reaching the jug. the top could be clean for a full top out.

A one move wonder on some of the best rock and coolest holds. Sit start with a crimp and a pinch, Grab the brick and make the move to the sloper rail.

Climb the big blunt arete using awesome jugs and pockets. lots of fun

Climb the cool crystal filled mono pockets on the down-hill side of the boulder.

This is a larger collection of boulders that encompass a vast range of size and quality. You'll get everything from fun and tall to steep and uber hard. Rock quality is on the coarse side, but nothing close to west woods.This is still a relatively new area with major first ascent potential, so bring a wire brush.During most of the year climbing involves a 1.5-2 mile hike in along a forest road, however, the DEEP does open the gate for periods(hunting season?) allowing people to park within 5 minutes of the boulders.  Update:  There is a new public access path over Yale property (private) that gets you to the boulders in 10 or 15 minutes.  Park in the massive pullout on Upper Four Mile River Road (marked on the map) and walk down the blue and white trail.  There is massive (literally) FA potential.  Definitely one of those places that if cleaned and climbed this could be a potentially large area on scale with other areas like Bradley, only 100% legal and on public land.  Bring a brush and a rope because the boulders are big.DEEP forest map ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=…;q=325064
