Hoo-doggy stakes its claim as the bold, rightmost line along Hillbilly Rock’s crag in Boulder Canyon, Colorado. This sport climb finds you immediately engaged with a hanging slab that demands steady focus and balance, accessible by veering right along the face. From the ground, you’ll notice four bolts embedded along the route—each a steady checkpoint as you ascend this textured wall. The transition into a flakey ramp and corner feature adds a tactical twist, compelling you to navigate an inclined path that arches right before edging firmly left to the Square Dance anchors. This climb offers a concentrated burst of movement over 50 feet, with an airy feel thanks to some less-than-stable rock that, with a few ascents, is expected to firm up. The presence of suspect holds means a cautious touch and eye for loose features will reward climbers willing to engage thoughtfully with the rock’s character. Approaching Hillbilly Rock means stepping into Boulder Canyon’s rugged caldera, where a mix of pine-scented air and the steady hum of the nearby creek sets the scene. The wall faces a direction that bathes it in morning light, warming the rock and easing entry on cool days. Whether you’re topping out early or chasing golden hour shadows, this single-pitch route invites a quick but satisfying climb that suits those looking for a straightforward challenge with a bit of edge. Rugged sport protection with seven bolts and a secure two-bolt anchor means gear is minimal and focused, speeding up your flow between moves. Given the nature of loose rock, helmets are a must, and solid climbing shoes with good edging ability will carry you through the tricky slab sections. Parking at the nearby trailhead offers easy access to the base, and a short walk delivers you to this sunlit wall, ideal for a half-day outing that combines technical moves with the crisp mountain environment. For climbers aiming to sharpen their slab technique and test their nerves on less-reliable rock, Hoo-doggy offers an approachable yet invigorating challenge right in the heart of Boulder Canyon’s climbing scene.
