Description
Nice roof to the north of the majority of Red Bird climbs, easier climbs on either side. The actual Bulge looks pretty hard, on either side are some very do able climbs. Starts are kind of bouldery.
Getting There
From setting up the top-ropes for Red Bird go north a bit more (50ish feet) and the Bulge should be visable. Same access route as the Red Bird climbs.
[Hide Photo] This is the main face. They seem like short climbs, but they are very pumpy. The "bulge" is a lot bigger in real life. Route info. will be coming soon.

[Hide Photo] This is the far left side. The two right routes are very cool. I'll put some more details about them later.
