Brian Camp on an early ascent of Brilliant.

Description 

This is more of a large formation than boulder. It has a few problems on it with Brilliant being, by far, the best.


Getting There 

This formation is located just uphill from the Calm Before the Storm/Jaba Gully. Go around the back-ide of Old Baldy and start searching. Maybe eventually you will find it.
