Description

Sick roadside highball-ish block with some awesome lines on it and a fairly good landing zone. On your way if you’re going to the South Yuba River: Purdon Crossing boulders.

Getting There

39.30570° N, 121.02750° W

Right where Purdon meets Rector. You turn onto Rector Road (which is gravel) and a few hundred feet up it at the first pull out on the right lies the boulder. Well worth stopping for and warming up on if you’re planning on going down to the couple posted blocks in purdon.
