Access Issue: Regarding Local Ethics Details

If you use chalk on the rock, brush it off when you are done. If you use tick marks, brush them off when you are done. Wipe your feet off prior to each climbing attempt. Excess chalk and any dirt, leaves, or mud can polish holds over time. Do not drag your pad from one climb to the next (in order to minimize erosion). And most importantly, Leave No Trace. Pick up your trash and place it in the trash cans at the trail head.

Description

This short boulder has a handful of short power problems, as well as a few linkups. High quality rock, but a little grittier than most.

Getting There

Take the Tilted Tree approach trail to the Fiddle Area and down to Crash and Burn where you will find a small trail leading down the hill. Follow this and you will arrive at a steep section of trail with a tall boulder on your left, this the Coral Boulder. The tall triangle shaped boulder across from this on your right is the Spinal Tap Boulder. Continue downhill to the right and follow a feint path from the Dragon's Lair Boulder cluster left to the boulder downhill from the Coral Boulder. This is the Bowling Ball Boulder.
