Description

Big water polished boulder with solid stone and problems V4-V10. All problems face north. Couple that with the large size of the boulder and you got a nice zone to dodge the heat.

Getting There

Park at the water tank. Take the path that splits the houses and then walk west past the water tank and the reverse Traverse boulder to the first wash you come to. Head down that wash. Once you pass the warpaint boulder, begin to angle up the hill to your right. If facing warpaint, try and go at about a 2:00 angle. You'll need to do some boulder hopping and bushwacking but after a hundred yards or so you will see the Oomphalos boulder. It's about 20 yards downhill from the cliff line.
