Description

This is a group of boulders with good climbs and potential for alot of development. Rock quality is great and well worth the approach. The climbing here varies from slab to overhangs to highballs. Mostly good landings but a spotter is comforting for some of these.

Getting There

From the main parking lot head up the paved road. When you get to the old parking lot hike up the ridge trail for about 40 minutes. Directly off the trail you will see a large pyramid shaped boulder with two flat sides. There is a no camping sign also near the boulder. This is the warm up slab. The remaining Bouldering is down the hill to the right of the trail.
