Description Suggest change

This is the largest boulder at Stinson, directly in the middle of the area (you can’t miss it). The north face has some classic traversing and some scary, but easy highball slab routes. The west face is steep and gives you the most attention from the hordes of beachgoers. The south face is on the chossier side, but has some easy, fun, highballs.

Descend off the east side. The rock is super slick from all the juveniles scrambling around and spilling beer so use some caution.
