Description
The Meadow Area is a best concentration of hard bouldering at Way Lake. Home to the one of the hardest problems and several of the most classic problems at Way Lake. This area is a cool hang with some shade from big lodgepole pines, though it isn't exactly a meadow.
From first inspection this looks like a long walk in, but the walk is straightforward and navigating the are is very easy.
Unlike most problems at Way Lake all the landings are good and easily protected with a pad or two.

Getting There
The easiest access route is NOT what is listed in the guidebook. From Emerald Lake trailhead, follow the trail up about 1/4 mile until a social trail leads down right to the bank of the creek. Follow this to a log crossing of the creek. On the other side of the creek, a social trail leads uphill. Follow this until it hits an old mining road on which you take a left. Follow the old mining road up to the west. It crosses an established trail, just stay on the old road. The road leads you steeply uphill. Continue on the road until it levels out at a big clearing. Straight ahead is Way Lake. Bear left on a faint trail that will lead you a few hundred yards to the Lower Meadows Area. The individual boulder approaches are described from this general flat area with the lake on your right.
