The Boardwalk is a sport climbing area in California's Shasta-Trinity National Forest, within the Big Bar Ranger District. It sits about a tenth of a mile from two other climbing areas, the Paisano Buttress and the Upper Shooting Gallery, and is managed by the Forest Service. The climbing here is all sport, with six routes spread across a range from 5.8 to 5.10c. The easiest is Wussy Boy at 5.8, and the hardest is Snatchsquatch at 5.10c. A few of the names are colorful: Bigfoot's Dick and Girly Man are among the others. The routes were first climbed between 2005 and 2014. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from the Cecilville weather station, about 32 miles away, show May highs around 75°F and October highs near 70°F, with July and August peaking near 96°F. For a hike nearby, the Coon Creek Loop and South Fork Trinity are both within 3 miles. Burnt Ranch Campground is about 4 miles away, and Slide Creek Campground is about 7 miles away.
