Sherman Acres

Last week Ken and I spent a couple of evenings bouldering up at Sherman Acres. This is the highest elevation area at the Buttermilks, and temps were generally good after the sun went behind the mountains. It seems as though this stellar area has been forgotten about, as there was no chalk on anything. Though there are directions in the guidebook, they are misleading. The guide implies that you must walk ~1 hour to reach the boulders. This is not true. If you have 4x4 you can drive right up to the rocks. There is no topo, so we didn't know any of the names or grades of anything. That, and no chalk, gave the impression that we were discovering the area anew, even though I am sure most of the problems we did had been done before. Probably by the Vermin himself.
