Kraken Boulder

International > N America > Aruba > Ayo Rock Formations

Description

This large unique boulder can be distinguished by a porthole (or monocle) in the middle of the rock. It also has a dugout overhung scoop feature on the "front" side of the boulder. I believe this scoop faces the trail and is the first thing you see. About half a dozen fun warmup- intermediate routes.

Getting There

It is right off the main trail loop. Look for the distinct porthole going through the rock.
