Has anyone here finished the Boulder Quad? Considering this to be a goal to finish with my family over the next few months and wondering if it is viable.
Any information appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Boulder Quad
Some have finished this quad, not me though. The biggest problem you will find is that many "peaks" are on private property.

Re: Boulder Quad
On Lists of John, there are 22 people who have finished the ranked peaks. Definitely a few of them post here.

And 3 people who have finished everything in LoJ, but none that I know of that is here:

If I recall 3 of the 6 (ranked anyways) are private.bergsteigen wrote:Some have finished this quad, not me though. The biggest problem you will find is that many "peaks" are on private property.
**edit: If you move one quad north (Lyons) there are some that are a bit more fun/interesting/public. (Well, kinda public...)

Re: Boulder Quad
Doesn't look too terrible, at least not with some climbing experience. Good luck!
