Carbondale Area
140 routes and 106 boulder problems at 25 crags. "Carbondale Area" is the catalogue's own grouping — a town, a canyon or a corridor, whichever climbers actually say.
Which way a wall faces is known for 16 of these 25; the rest say nothing rather than guess. Sun and shade by season ranks the ones we know.
