Description

These boulders are located behind the dumpster at the upper end of QSPA (Trash Can Rock) parking lot.
A few problems exist, along with some wide cracks and an easy chimney.

Getting There


From the dumpster, walk around the right side of the boulders, for about 75', to a picnic table. The thin crack and arete are behind this table. The other cracks and chimney are on the other side of the formation.
