Description 

This is the typical Mankato rock, but it is all decently weathered so it doesn't break (most of the time). Some good problems and some insanely contrived things if you are bored :)

Getting There 

For Rasmussen West, head to the South (left as you come in) and follow the trail around to the west. When arriving at the numerous forks in the trail, follow these directions:

Left (straight), Right (straight), Left, Right. After taking these turns and dropping down into the marsh area, you will encounter the obvious cliff band / boulders.
