Description
This boulder is on the west side of Castlewood Canyon. It has the problem, Bloody Fingers R Us, V2, on it.
Getting There
Option 1: close to the crags, you will see two boulders on you left sitcking straight up side by side. Walk through these two boulders heading south. As soon as you come to the end of the boulders, turn to your left, hop down off the rock about 3 feet turn left once more and here you are.
Option 2: head up the climber's trail towards the Grocery Store and Neanderthal Walls. It is just before the fork in the trail on the left side. It doesn't look like it would have a problem on it, but if you walk all the way back, there is a slab and the overhang with the problem on it.
