Description
This rock is located away from the other climbing, and consists of only bouldering on a 12' tall rock. The main existing problem is also appropraitely called Gomer's Pile, and goes at V7.
You will always find this rock in the shade hidden beneath the canopy of surrounding trees.
All routes will walk off the back of this medium sized rock, watch your footing as the loose leaves in the area make footing quite interesting.
Getting There
Access time: 2 minutes

Follow a small trail leading left into the trees for about 30 yards, and you're there.
