Description

More of a landmark to the "main" oltons shoulder bouldering area. This is a small boulder balanced ontop of another that looks like a flying saucer. The FA was done as a warm up and before there was a fire that burned the route. The route is still climbable today.

Getting There

Hike up the dirt trail from parking. Once you intersect the old highway head left (west) towards Oltons Shoulder. This boulder will be one of the first you encounter.
