Description

The rock stretches the meaning of boulder because it doesn't have a super obvious top out. The Only Once Boulder is attached to bread loaves right next to the down climb for the route in the bloody fingers corridor. It is recognizable from its steep overhang that leads directly into a slab.

Getting There

To get to the Only once boulder you follow the trail that would lead you to the bloody fingers corridor on the west side. After a little walking you should see a break off trail that will take you right to the boulder. If you continue past this boulder you would reach Goose boulder.
