Big Boy is a sport climbing route located at Clay Creek Crag in the Telluride and Norwood area of Western Colorado. The route sits at an elevation of 7,522 feet and features a sharp arete with bolted protection. The climb is approximately 35 feet long and is classified as moderate in difficulty, making it suitable for climbers with some experience. The route consists of three bolts leading to a two-bolt anchor. Climbers can access the area with on-site parking, and pets are allowed year-round. The first ascent was completed by Chris Boscoff and Charlie Fowler. The rock quality is solid, although the approach to the anchors can be slightly runout on easier terrain. The route is positioned next to Dr. Evil on Clay Creek Crag.
