Description

The GateKeeper boulder is a semi hidden boulder until you look for it. It sits right of the trail a few minutes past Wayward Valley. As the blocks start to appear in the middle of the valley and trail look to your left up the hill a couple of feet and you should see this boulder. Look for a smooth boulder with a horizontal crack. Addys Arete boulder is to the left of this block.

Getting There

Hike to Wayward valley. Hike about 3-4 minutes pass until you get to the next couple of blocks with easy warm ups. Look up the hill to your left and you should see this block.
