[Hide Comment] We used to climb this boulder back in the day, called it Turtle Head. Never saw anyone get the "project", but there are some really good problems on it's south, east, and north sides including Greased Lightning and The Miser. Strangely, it never made it into any of the guide books. Apr 3, 2011
