Description

This is a very small area with one pretty good problem and another great problem. Since it is just under 5000' elevation its dry during the winter allowing for a quick outside trip. Its just off the Pony Express Trail. There are other boulders in the area if you are looking for easy short crack slabs to get FAs of if you are double digits strong there are a couple gorgeous lines. PM if interested in checking them out.

Getting There

Drive 1.4 miles passed Kyburz and park in the large paved pull out on the right. From the western most part of the pull out cross US 50 and head up the gully staying on the lower angle right side. After 5 minutes you'll come to the Pony Express trail. Turn left (west) and hike about one minute. When you cross the 2 foot diameter drain pipe look up and and you'll see the backside of the boulder. Go just passed it on the trail and 50 feet above the trail you'll find the two problems.
