Description

This is a large boulder that has lots of problems on it. There is so much development that can happen on this boulder still too. There are easy problems on the north side, the east side has a hard overhanging face, the south side has fun slab, and the west side is the downclimb. This gets a lot of sun during the middle of the day, but it is great in the evening and definitely in the fall/winter months.

Note: the top of the boulder is VERY chossy. I recommend manteling the topout for any and all problems. Anything you grab on the top will pop off, and be careful walking on it after you have topped out, because it is easy to slide off.

Getting There

Continue up the path past 'Opal Hill First' and past the plethora of boulders, including Mammoth. One of the last conglomerate boulders before the lighter sandstone, it's tall (and hard to miss in my opinion).
