Description Suggest change

This is a creek-side and south-facing boulder with mostly highball problems. Bring a pad.

There are problems on its north, west, and south sides.

From Tom Hanson: this was originally climbed by former Castlewood head ranger Bob Finch, who suggested it to "The Boys of The Wood": T Hanson, S Sills, M Brooks and Steebo Carpenter, who polished off every contrivance on this rock, Circa mid-eighties.

This was originally submitted before 2001 for the climbingboulder.com website. With the change in format of MP.com, this was converted to a subarea.

Getting There Suggest change

This is located on the East side of creek along the Inner Canyon Trail. You'll see it after walking North for a few minutes after crossing the bridge. Mostly it has easier problems, but topping out is highball. The descent is a V1 crack or whatever you prefer... .
