Watch out for tortoises! They like to sunbathe on the trail sometimes. Adults are easy to avoid but this one was the size of a golfball !!!!

I think that is Morrell's wall in the center and Tom's Thumb sticking up at center right.
A good look @ The Waffles, as I like too say, and the most difficult & or challenging<br> Boulder problem in the range, V10+. Terribly thin right leaning finger seem/crack! <br> Easier ways to butter your waffles! :)<br>

My all time favorite boulder problem. This photo was taken the day i found this beauty. As you can see we weren't there to boulder that day and had no crashpad. I couldn't resist climbing it so i just went for it. Im glad I topped out that day, I sure wouldn't want to fall off the top. Great memory.
A little closer- random nice boulders near Mt McDowel. Photo by Tony Bubb, 12/2003.
