Jim Donini styles up the "5.10 Boulder" in Uptown ...


Description 

Area north of the barbwire fence.


Getting There 

From the parking area stay north of the fenceline which splits West Elden in two.

The best trail to the cliff base starts just left of a boulder called The Egg. This trail brings you to the cliff base beneath TT's Terror and Zit Slab.
