Description

Decent, short boulder with a cool, slopey arete feature that may lead to some harder climbs. There are many more boulders to explore here, as alluded to by the area's description.

If this boulder already has a name, feel free to change the one given here. This name was chosen since there is a plastic heart someone nailed to a tree nearby with barely legible writing saying "Big Bob".

Getting There

Park in Hubbard park and walk along the white castle trail (the one that crosses the bridge over 691). Follow the trail up the steepest section until you are heading parallel with and in the same direction as 691 East. Eventually the trail takes a relatively sharp turn leftward, at which point you want to head towards 691, into the woods and explore the boulders. This boulder is relatively close to the trail, but past a few, shorter boulders. It is also near some thorn and pricker bushes if that helps.
