Description 

One of the easiest areas to access. The rock quality is exquisite,the boulders have been carved into such amazing shapes. The climbing here is beautiful, you feel as if your dreaming because around every turn is another unbelievable line. Depending on how busy the weekend is you many not see another soul.

Getting There 

Once you exit the tram hike down the paved trail, when you get to the trail head to the ranger station (don't forget to get your permit, they are free so you don't have an excuse. I saw a few boulders who did not. Keep in mind the rangers do hike off the trail and patrol the bouldering areas, so don't get caught without one) Once you have your permit follow the trail behind (west) the ranger station at the fork turn right and follow for maybe 5 minutes. Look out for the landmark boulder. Right after the boulder you will come to a small valley, at the end of the valley you will see a rather impressive large rock with a splitter crack up the middle. The climbing is up in this valley. Start exploring
