Main Boulder

New Mexico > Jemez Mountains… > Ponderosa Bould… > Corral > Mesa

Description

Stellar Large boulder with problems on all sides. No real down climb, reverse the top of a problem on the S face that is just to the left of a small (3') tree and drop, bring an extra pad and leave it here.

Getting There

After crossing the fence head to your left, about 11 o'clock for about 100 yards, you will pass two smaller boulders with problems on them prior to coming to the main boulder, its about 12-20' feet tall and has a dead tree leaning against the left side of it.

[Hide Comment] This is probably the single best boulder I've climbed on in the Ponderosa area. Every problem is worth doing and almost none of the holds are hollow. Oct 15, 2008
[Hide Comment] One big mother of a boulder. Some of the topouts remind me of Buttermilks, ie. high, slabby and a bit scary. Name: "Sun Dagger" AFAIK. Feb 9, 2013
