Main (Third) Talus Bouldering

Reaching the talus isn't so bad, but navigating the massive, slick boulders can be tricky. From the trailhead hike as you would for all zones, departing via the Ice Beds Trail out of the southwest corner of the lot. Follow the blue blazed trail up and along the right hillside of a ridge where you will come to an overlook area after 8-10 minutes (you can look out over the talus fields from here). At the overlook stay right following blue blazes down hill and further along the hill. Soon after the trail flattens look down the hill to the left for a vague climber's trail through the moss dipping into the steep hillside. Follow switchbacks down the hillside to a small stream crossing and up the opposite side of the valley. You should see a vegetated talus appear on the right, continuing uphill skirting the very edge of the talus. Soon after the terrain to the right will open up, dense tree cover giving way to a vast expanse of white boulders on the right. Here any semblance of a trail disappears, and you follow the path of least resistance through the talus field to the sub areas. You will enter the talus into the "Lower South" area first. Traverse along the same level of talus to reach the "Lower South", hike directly up the talus to find the "Mid North" and "North Shoulder".
Alternatively to reach "South Extension" and perhaps Lower, Mid, and Upper South: stay straight on the blue blaze trail instead of cutting left into the steep valley. Follow this trail along the descending ridge another 5-8 minutes, gradually veering into the lower area past a stream/swampy area and then gradually uphill to where the trail terminates at the base of the talus field (you will also notice the temperature decrease by 5+ degrees here). Continue into the talus here which is the "South Extension". Continue up and left for Lower, Mid, and Upper South.
The geotag for the Main Talus is placed roughly in the center of the talus field
