Description

A relatively short boulder with a very overhung and difficult face, with some vertical climbing on either side.

Getting There

About 5-10 minutes downstream from the main Subway cave. Walk over a downed tree, and then under a larger downed tree. Walk between a couple of small boulders to your left, go past a very overhung white prow near and then go past (or around to the left) two more boulders that touch each other (with a space between them that can be crawled under). The boulder on the left is a the Manhole Boulder.
