Description Suggest change

These are a pair of twin glacial erratic boulders right along the Basin Marsh Trail on the way to the Titanic Boulder. Many of their routes are very difficult/impossible due to a lack of features on the smooth granite, and some have yet to be cleaned. Eight separate routes have been established so far, ranging from V0-V6, but both boulders have potential for at least V8 or higher. When looking from the trail, the boulder on the right has a ladder propped against it, hence the name. The boulder on the left is called the "Neighbor Boulder"

Getting There Suggest change

Take the Coffee House Loop trail west from the parking area for about four minutes before making a left onto Basin Marsh Trail. After another two minutes or so, walk past a boulder on your left, and you will see these two directly in front of you.
