Please do not climb on wet rock, especially footholds. If a hold is wet, and you are unsure if it is fragile or not, go climb something dry. Caking a hold in chalk only dries the surface of the rock and does nothing to actually make a hold less friable.
If you use chalk on the rock, brush it off when you are done. If you use tick marks, brush them off when you are done. Wipe your feet off prior to each climbing attempt. Excess chalk and any dirt, leaves, or mud can polish holds over time. Do not drag your pad from one climb to the next (in order to minimize erosion). And most importantly, Leave No Trace. Pick up your trash and place it in the trash cans at the trail head.

Description
Nice overhanging routes with a very short approach. Many routes on this boulder tend to seep for several days after a rain.
Getting There
This area has two easy approaches. You can take a right just before getting to the main gravel parking lot, continue past the Rhododendron Campground loop and and park near the Rhododendron trailhead and the picnic shelter #3, this is the shortest approach. You can also park in the main paved lot and take the Eagle Trail, which is about 100ft right of the concession stand, down to the boulder.
