Description
One of the more sandbagged boulders in Central Park (at least on the lower end of the grade spectrum). Short and sweet problems: four or five moves on sharp holds, followed by generally easy topouts.

This boulder is awesome for when you have an hour or two to yourself, with no spotter or crashpad. If you try climbing it wet, good luck.
