Description 

This boulder has an obvious well-chalked traverse (Umbrella Traverse V2) as well as a few straight up lines including Satan on a Halfshell (V10).
This boulder, especially the traverse, can be used as a decent warm-up for other probelms in the Blackjacks, also for sport climbers heading up to Starship Enterprise, Triple Corners, and other Northwest Crags.
In spring the base of this boulder can be a mud pit. Look around there might be a tarp to put your pad down on off to the right somewhere... Don't rely on the tarp though, bring your own so your pad won't be covered in mud. Just remember to pack it out, don't leave it there.


Getting There 

It is the first boulder with an obvious traverse as you enter the Blackjacks from the east.
