Description

This large, mostly low-angled boulder isn't too enticing but does offer a fun lip traverse along the northern side - PGD Arete (V2).

Getting There

Approach as for the Slash Boulder but continue east another 50 meters, skirting the northern edge of the boulder pile, until you see the obvious boulder.
