The Aspen Boulder
California

Description
This solitary volcanic block hosts several problems that range from easy slabs to a stout test-piece.
The volcanic rock is solid and smooth but small crimpy holds offer hope to those that want to try.
The south face of Aspen Wall is the standout problem here.
Getting There
From Old Mammoth road drive down Mammoth Creek Road for .8 of a mile. The boulder will be seen on the left, but drive on another 50 yards to a parking area on the left.
Of course if lines are pushed or squeezed you could be “doing them incorrectly” or breaking them.
Some of these are quite pure and good and others are squeezed and likely to have wide grade variability / meaningful routefinding interpretation.
