Details
Permits can be acquired at the ranger station on the way to the boulders from the upper Tramway station.
Description
More a small cliff than a boulder, the Moon Boulder is home to a number of easy to moderate highball/solos up a clean 20-25 foot face.
Landings tend to be flat and clear of obstructions but this might be a good place to break out the BIG pad, although at a certain point falling is probably best avoided.
- An easy down climb exists off the west (climber's left) side.
Getting There
Located on the right side of the trail just past the Flash Gordon Boulder and directly behind a stand of four large pine trees.
