Description

When you get to the Sputnik Boulder, the first boulder considered to be part of The Satellites, head into the trees directly to the west, instead of going south up the trail, for maybe 40 feet.

A short boulder will appear right in front of you. Begin from a sds on two obvious holds on the northeast corner. Move up to a tricky match and go for the top.

No argument there, dude, I gave it 1 star 16 years ago. I have no argument with it being a bomb. Cheers. Dec 3, 2018

I recommend eye protection for the unavoidable moss shower that occurs when climbing this route. Apr 24, 2024
