Description Suggest change

This area encompasses everything from the pull of the highway heading west towards Oltons shoulder formation. It continues north until it runs into the Chopping Block climbing area. Great bouldering and in a less than visited area compared to other areas in Rushmore. Usually wont see anyone else and stays breezy for most of the days. Expect good sunlight on most of these blocks.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the Oltons Shoulder / Emancipation pull off. Hike North up hill along the small dirt path. Once you come to the old highway road head left (north) continuing towards the base of Oltons Shoulder.
