Description

Afternoon sun, secluded, and possibly never climbed. The exfoliating rock shows very little or no signs of travel. If you know the names please fill it in or let me know.

“A rule of the blue road: Be careful going in search of adventure—it’s ridiculously easy to find.”
― William Least Heat-Moon, Blue Highways: A Journey into America

Getting There

Located between Park Blvd. and Real Hidden Valley, directly behind the The Foundry.

This formation is seen by most anyone that has done Sail Away. If coming from Sail Away, you can see this formation sitting just below and in front of the Foundry's Jumar of Flesh route. Approach from Real Hidden Valley loop or Park Blvd if coming from routes on the Foundry.
