Description

These two areas are located between Cap Rock and Ryan Campground and offer a great boulder circuit with lots of quality problems V2 and under.

Notable boulder problems here include the overhanging arete of Picture Perfect (V1), the fun and varied Leisure World (V1) and the kinesthetically pleasing Fry Problem (V2).

Getting There

The Stonehenge Boulders are perhaps best reached by following the loop "nature trail" which starts from the Cap Rock parking area and then breaking off to the southwest at the Pumping Monzonite Boulder.

The Fry Boulders are easily approached from the Stonehenge Boulders by heading northeast towards the road, or by parking in a large pullout across from Cap Rock's north face and walking several hundred meters along the road to the boulders.

The approach takes about 5-10 minutes.
