BETA PHOTO: Face that's first visible from the trail.
Description
Large boulder with obvious, unique crack lines.
Please let me know if this boulder is posted elsewhere on MP--it's so obvious I'm sure it's not new to Gov Dodge climbers, but we couldn't find it on the site so figured we'd put it up.
Getting There
Just above the road leading to the Box Canyon parking lot, downhill from Godfather.
Pretty awesome climb, but I am sure someone has done it before.Climb the slabby face right of the backside of the boulder. Use anything left of the big crack on the right side (including arete up top), and anything right of the crack on the left. Make your way up the face using good holds till you reach the top. Only problem is that it is super dirty. Could use some cleaning!...[more]Browse More Classics in WI

It's not posted on here yet, thanks for taking pics and putting it up. At least a few of the lines on here have been done long ago... Certainly you get naming rights since nobody yet bothered to post up.
I was under the impression that the spaceship traverse was also on this boulder, is this true?

You may be right. I'll ask Sweaty. This line may be the spaceship traverse. I was never sure where that was so when I rearranged this area I put it on the Godfather boulder.
hey there kiddos! From the angle of the pics it is hard to tell but it does look to be the bolder that the 'spaceship traverse' is on this boulder. it would start on the far left and traverse the whole lip of this boulder.

OK I moved that problem to this boulder. Thanks Mr. Pants!
Yeah that's what I thought too. Chris is right, there are a number of lines on this boulder. I have pictures, but just never posted them. Maybe now I will.
