Description 

Overly Hung boulder is the boulder made famous in Chuck Fryberger's Friction Addiction. I believe there are a few routes up it but still looking for more information if anyone has it. Rusty & Mike Lewis got the F.A. on the easier version in the later 1980's. The Lewis brothers toppled the sizeable flake that was perched precariously above and to the right.

Getting There
