Description
The crown jewel of Southern California Bouldering, Tram has gone almost completely unnoticed to most locals. Located on the Eastern rim of Mount San Jacinto, and guarded by the steepest, most continuous mountain face on the continent. The bouldering at Tram owes its existence to an arial tramway that makes access to the area possible. Ironically, its this very tramway that deters many from visiting the area. Tram offers around 800 problems ranging from 5.5 to V13. The area has a reputation for being short and steep climbing, which Tram excels at. However, contrary to popular belief, Tram has a plethora of top quality highballs. In fact, some of the best highballing in So Cal can be found here. Tram also boasts the highest concentration of problems in the V7-V10 range, in the entire region.-rtm
