Útgarðar - Outlands
This area has been entirely developed by local Kris Maclellan in the summer of 2018, he gave me permission to use his topo and descriptions in this guide but if you’d like more information straight from the source here is a link to the Utgard guide that he put together http://www.krismaclellan.com/utgard-boulder/. Major props to Kris for putting in the time to clean this wall it's a beauty, and certainly took some time and effort. If you head out there consider bringing a wire brush to help maintain it, the moss grows fast but if everyone does a little cleaning, hopefully it won’t ever need to be fully cleaned on rappel again!
The Utgard Boulder offers slab bouldering. The wall leans generously in places, so good footwork can lead to fun and easy sending. The wall is also pockmarked with little gouges, which create a range of holds from slopers to mini jugs. There is a horizontal incut crack system, an incredible diagonal line of protruding crystals, and a general "shattered" look to the rock.
The pictures of this boulder do not make it seem as tall as it is. Kris reports that it is about 20’ of rope from top to bottom. The delicate feet, and slopey hands up high will definitely get your heart pumping, every route on this wall is a bit of an adventure!

Directions / Travel Info:

Directions: Park at the Bear Hill Road parking lot, and climb the hill toward the summit via the main path. Utgard Boulder is very close to the summit, western side. When you reach the grassy look-off point you are getting quite close. A few minutes hike later you'll arrive at a large fallen tree across the path, which has been cut to allow crossing. Just past there you'll find a rock cairn indicating the start of a small game trail off to the left (unless it falls over or is removed)
You can see Utgard Boulder from this cairn. Follow the game trail for just a minute, and you'll see Utgard Boulder on your right (uphill). Do yourself a favour, and visit the summit before you leave. The view is amazing.

Contributors note: I have been cleaning the wall winter 2024/5. The approach took me between 7-12 minutes depending on pace. It is about 2/3 clean now and should be climbable again
