Description Suggest change

15ish foot slab that's the only decent quality bouldering I've found exploring the rocks behind the Talking Head Wall parking area. Fun and easy climbing.

Getting There Suggest change

the photos i posted include instructions with visuals to support. however, i'll reiterate everything here.

you need to hike past three large crops of rocks to get to the hidden gem boulder. the first crop is visible from the parking area, the second is a bit behind the first, and the third is a 2 minute walk from second. i have photos of each crop with arrows indicating the direction you need to hike. 

unfortunately, this boulder is quite inaccessible. at the most, it's a half mile hike up from the parking area, and the hike is completely unmarked, rocky, and laden with dense flora.
