Description

The Grizzly boulder is a HUGE mass of rock to the southwest of "Turtle Dome." It has amazing solid granite and has one of the best V6/7s at Iron Mountain. Most problems are on the northface.

Getting There

This boulder is not in the "Way Too Highs Proper." This boulder is immediately south of Turtle Dome, like right at its base. I find it easiest to get to this boulder by going to the Sledgehammer formation then skirting Turtle Dome's East side down the rock slabs. This approach is a little precarious with many or large pads. It is possible to go down the gully then cut northwest to the boulder, but there's quite a bit of bush-whacking and tree-swatting involved. Coordinates: 43.8620043, -103.4436398
