Description

This 27' boulder is located near the south edge of Blind Beach. It provides three slabby top-rope routes, all with crumbly holds. Setting up a top-rope requires a minimum of a 20' static rope and 10' of slings, or 30' of slings, which can be used to sling two large boulders behind the rock with the anchor rope or slings extending up and over the top of the rock. Access the top of the rock by climbing 4th class from behind the rock to the broad south arete. A towel or rope bag should be placed under the anchor at the top to prevent damage to the rope or slings.

Getting There

Approach from the Blind Beach parking lot above, hike down to the beach and walk south about a quarter of a mile. Alternatively you may approach along the beach from the Goat Rock parking lot but be aware that a narrow stretch of the beach is cut off during high tide.
