[Hide Comment] I'm sure the locals already know this, BUT, if you are a beginning climber, or new to the area, the bolts mentioned in the description above are old, rusty and no longer have the hardware necessary to set up a top rope. However, with that said, this is a must do boulder for the beginning climber who wants to try something steep with big, thuggy holds. For the free soloist (with no spotter), three large pads, laid next to each other (in a large, square pattern) is the near perfect - bare minimum - set up if you want to top out. Two friends, who each brought two of their own pads, would be even better. For all those folks, who wish to increase the fitness - old school style (without the use of an indoor gym or moon board) - this is a super good boulder for ARC training and 4 x 4's. I try to work this boulder into my "training regiment" at least once a month, if possible, and I am always surprised by how often I have the whole thing to myself for hours at a crack. Also, for those who want it noted, this is the perfect winter training boulder since it sees full sun, almost all day long, and is situated on ground that easily becomes free of ice and snow, even in the middle of February.
