Description

A large rounded boulder on the southern slope of the Craig Creek ridgeline. The main line is “Controlled Descent”, with some possible other problems or variations. The rock quality is generally excellent for the area.

Getting There

Off of Craig Creek Rd and about a mile up Forest Service Rd 10791. You almost certainly need a car with high clearance and 4wd if you want to drive all the way. This isn't much of a road. Once you park, walk about 100yds up and left of the road to the boulder. The boulder can be seen from the parking.
