Dave midway on Nebula (5.8), Joshua Tree.


Description 

This great area is located by itself to the east of the Manx Boulders and is made up of two seperate areas - the Little Big Horn Boulder area which is on the first formation you come to and the Asteroid Boulder area which lies further east.

There are a number of good problems V-easy to V7 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).


Getting There 

From the Manx Boulders hike east 500 meters or so following a sandy wash. The first formation you come to has the Little Big Horn Boulder on it's west flank, while the Asteroid Belt proper is another 500 meters or so further east.
