Description

Morpheus is the high-quality granodiorite bouldering along the former mine road following the West Fork Miller River. All different bouldering areas can be found, from sun-drenched talus field to devil's club-filled forest, water-level dependent riverside to trailside, and crimpy testpieces to classic moderates. All these have in common a generally short approach off the trail. Morpheus also hosts Washington's former hardest boulder problem (before the Penrose Step), King Slayer.
