Description

This square-ish shaped boulder is one of the very possible bouldering areas located around Wolf Rock. Has a couple of possible routes, and has some really cool features to it, like the big jug/pocket on the right hand side of it. A little bit out of the ways, but nothing too wild.

Getting There

Follow the same directions as the Wolf Rock approach, however once you get to Wolf Rock, keep following the blue Nipmuck Trail for about .25 miles, which includes a relatively downhill hike. Eventually, you'll find yourself at a crossroads, where if you go right you'll keep following the blue Nipmunk Trail, and if you go left you'll follow an unmarked trail. Go left, and walk for about a minute. Look up to your left, and the boulder is right there. It should be pretty hard to miss, especially in the fall. The total approach time is about 10 minutes, and very downhill. The walk back is a bit steep, so be prepared for that.
