Description

This boulder is located just west of the Tilt-O-Meter Boulder and about 50 yards west of the Iron Door Cave area. The boulder is cracked wide open forming two distinct but still somewhat attatched halves.

A good area to warm-up as well as for for less experienced boulderers with ratings ranging from 5.7 to V1 or so. Voices Arete (5.9) and Scissorlock (V1) are among the best here.

Getting There

Approach from Hidden Valley CG by following a trail past the east face of The Blob, from the paved road near the vicintiy of Steve Canyon or even from the vicinity of Echo Cove.
