Description Suggest change

A fantastic house-sized boulder standing alone in a clearcut. The easiest boulder to access at Gold Bar because of the short approach. Great quality, fine grained featured granite. The south facing side is a tall, edgy, face, while the other sides vary from overhung, tall aretes to super steep sloper problems reminiscent of Gibb's Cave in Squamish.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive approx. 0.6 miles on Reiter road past the regular entrance to the main bouldering area (identifiable by the big,  metal gate) to the second pullout on the right. On the other side of the road is a gated gravel road.  Park here and go through the gate. Just as the road curves right to follow the power lines, there is a trail down to the stream on the left. Follow the trail across the stream and up to the next row of power lines. Then take a right and follow the trail. The boulder will be up to the left (look for it through the trees).
