The Buttermilk Boulders are named after the Buttermilk Country, which is known for its rolling hills and grassy meadows. The area was originally settled by ranchers and farmers who used the land for grazing livestock and growing crops. Over time, the area became a popular destination for rock climbers, who were drawn to the area’s unique geology and challenging climbing routes.
The Buttermilk Boulders are made up of granite, a type of igneous rock that is formed when molten magma cools and solidifies below the Earth’s surface. The granite in the Buttermilk Boulders is over 100 million years old, and it has been sculpted over time by the forces of weathering and erosion. The result is a series of rocky outcroppings with a variety of textures and features, providing climbers with a range of challenging routes to explore.
