Description Suggest change

Great area with a lot of fun warmups and a couple more difficult problems. Right next to the road, within walking distance of a campground, yet doesn't see a ton of traffic. Gets its name from the distinctive crack splitting the boulder completely in two, all the way through, which makes for two very different but fun problems. A place to visit for sure.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive up left fork about 1 mile. Keep an eye on the right hand side of the road, and the crack boulder will be obvious. If you get to the huge pullout on the left hand side of the road, you've gone too far, but barely. It's within walking distance of this parking area, back down the road less than 1/4 mile.
