Description Suggest change

Another larger boulder of good quality rock, with some good boulder problems. This boulder has the same rock type as the Turtle and the Toolbox boulders, granite it seems. 

Getting There Suggest change

It would be best to take the approach to the Lateralus boulder, and then instead of taking the left on the blue blazed trail to Lateralus, follow the yellow blazes for another minute. From here, turn left into the woods and continue until you stumble upon the outcrop. This one is kind of a tough, so I'll create an approach trail using the track from when I found it. Worth making your way out to!
