Description
M.O.W. stands for Mouth Of Wilson, which is the small, cool little community near GHSP.
The MOW formation is pretty crazy. The whole thing comprises of two large boulders. The bottom boulder is flat on top and serves as a "patio" that the top boulder sits on top of. The top boulder is steeply inclined and forms a massive "mouth" in conjunction with the lower boulder.
The bottom boulder is referred to as the MOW Patio, the top as MOW.
The MOW Patio has several fun lines such as Heavy Footed Swagger to choose from, and MOW has the classic "Mouth Of Wilson" which provides many variations and extensions.

Getting There
Walk past the overlook and onto the trail. pass the Overlook Area which spans down past The Hive Boulder and the tiny Foggy Mountain Fin. After the Fin, your basically out of the Overlook Area.
After Overlook, you will walk around a very tight left turn in the trail (30 seconds past the fin) and now you are in the SLS Area.
After the sharp turn, the next feature you will see is MOW, which is a massive double-decker boulder that looks like a huge mouth (use youre imagination... its a large patio boulder with an even larger, steeply inclined roof boulder on top of the patio).
