Description Suggest change

This massive river boulder is a sight to behold. Its also paramount to crossing the river during most of the year. Touching it is the Cardinal Boulder (further from the trail). Only during low water levels can most of this boulder be climbed (the down climb is always available and once you climb down you are on the Cardinal).

There are several nice lines on Drought, with the king line being "When In Drought" on its upstream-most face.

Getting There Suggest change
