Description

This phenomenal boulder is a slightly less than vertical boulder with tons of pockets, huecos, and even some small cracks that make for an almost slabby experience. It receives sun in the afternoons. Since the main face is on the downhill side it is a very easy and safe top out. I am unsure if this has been climbed before since it was not on mtn project so feel free to change the name the reflect the first ascensionist.

Getting There

Go around the island into the left draw and continue following the trail for 20 to 25 minutes. It is directly uphill about 200 feet from the bone boulders and is a very obvious textured face. It is a wavy face with a small ponderosa pine tree directly in front of it on the left hand side. Takes about 20 to 25 minutes to get to the boulder from the car
