Description

Previously known as the Veteran Hall boulder, the Memorial Boulder sits in the parking lot of Truckee's Veteran Building. It could've been a classic boulder if the bottom wasn't paved, but it still has enough good problems to make a visit worthwhile. This erratic contains many easier problems on the front side and some problems for more advanced climbers on the back.

The grades will be from Hatchett's bouldering guidebook, and I don't necessarily agree with the grades (especially one V5 I thought felt more like a V2).

Getting There

This boulder is in downtown Truckee, in the parking lot of Veteran's Hall. From the call, walk straight to the boulder for 1 second.
