Description

This standalone boulder offers a dozen problems, mostly easy but some are tall. It has climbing on all sides and gets lots of sun throughout the day, once the sun has crested the ridge to the east in the morning.

Getting There

It's visible from the parking lot. From the main Box Canyon parking lot, walk out to the dirt road, follow it left (south, passing through the big wash) about 100 yards, then up a little wash on the left about 75 yards, and you will see the lone boulder about 60 yards off to your left (east). 3 minute approach.

You can approach via the Gimme Bouldering area as well, as Ursa Major is just over 100 yards to the south of that cluster.
