Description
This great area is located by itself to the east of the Manx Boulders and is made up of two separate areas - the Little Bighorn Area area which is on the first formation you come to and the Asteroid Boulder Area area which lies further east.
There are a number of good problems V-easy to V11 in the area with a concentration of problems V5 and under. Standouts of the area include the twin seams of Optigrip (V3) and the bulging thin crack/lieback problem of Peabrain (V4).
