Four Corners Area
64 routes and 52 boulder problems at 18 crags. "Four Corners 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 5 of these 18; the rest say nothing rather than guess. Sun and shade by season ranks the ones we know.
