Description

This is a somewhat unassuming boulder with a couple very good climbs. The path up the center of the face on interesting quartz holds and sculpted edges remains an open project.

Getting There

This boulder is nestled into a denser area of forest with more ground vegetation, so it is a bit tougher to find. It is most easily found by first going to the Arrowhead Boulder and traveling uphill in the northeasterly direction. You should see a few boulders and will reach the Quartz Face within a minute or two. From approaching in this direction, there will be another good-sized boulder on the left that has a small roof feature on its left side.

The boulder can also be accessed via the logging path that leads to Barrel Boulder. When you reach the top of the hill, cut left into the woods, and do some searching. The GPS pin should be accurate.
