Description

This is the really big boulder that sits at the base of Prospect ledge. Over the last few years I have cleaned and sent each one of the ten quality lines this boulder has on it. If you live north of the notch and are looking for a fun day out bouldering while the notch is closed it’s worth checking out. It gets full sun and drys up pretty quickly. The rock quality is really good schist. It took quite a few hours to clean this boulder, so go climb it and enjoy!

Getting There

The best (and least impactful) way to get to this boulder is to hike to the climbers trail that follows the base of the cliff to lookers right. Keep going until you reach a big boulder right off the trail. Drop into the woods about ten feet and you’re there. You can’t miss it! Try to resist the urge to just bushwhack to it, and minimize erosion in such a beautiful area.
