Description

This is a handsome boulder west of the Sunset Flatironette. The rock quality is absolutely bulletproof with a pretty okay landing area. An easy, left side problem has been established, as has a slightly harder, middle problem. A right side problem is most likely awaiting an unlocking and would go at about V4/V5.

Getting There

Take the new trail segment that starts at the top of the First/Second Flatiron trail around the Sunset Flatiron. Once down around and descending, go off the main trail to the south where you'll find a group of boulders.

History?

I didn't see much previous travel, but there's a >0% chance that Jim Holloway himself levitated to the top after taking some real good drugs - who knows? The new trail cut transforms this whole area from a seldom visited quiet place to an area throngs of hikers pass through by the hundreds/day.
