Description
This boulderfield holds some phenomenal problems and rock quality and is well worth the short, but steep, hike up through the jumbled and rocky hillside. Good landings, fun lines, and plenty to choose from (projects too).
Getting There
Walk on past the Pyramid Area, and the Shadowcast Area. Once past Shadowcast, look for the small cube like block off of the left side of the trail. This marks where you can start hiking up hill (there are good but vague paths to take but I wont try to describe them. Just go for it) to the boulder-ish looking area on the hillside. The large boulder with the long steep face is contrast. The leaning, thin boulder/blocks are the pillars.
