Iron Resolution Block

Description

This massive block was once a part of the short cliff directly behind it until it suddenly cut loose after a particularly heavy winter rain years back.

 Gone are the two cracks on either side (Fists of Fury, a 5.10a fist crack and Enter the Dragon, a 5.9 squeeze chimney) but in exchange there now exists a difficult, high quality boulder problem - not such a bad trade really.

Getting There

Veer right past the Streetcar Boulder on the way to Gunsmoke to reach this block.
