Access Issue: Closure reported on Climbing.com, Dec. 31st, 2007
Details
"Sometimes called the single best boulder in the world, the Mushroom Boulder at Hueco Tanks, Texas, has been closed to climbing to protect the soil, plant life, and possible archaeological resources under the rock. The boulder, located at the base of North Mountain, was closed by Hueco Tanks State Historical Park in mid-December."
Please be sure that the boulder isn't restricted if you plan to climb there in the future. Hopefully, climbers will be able to get some dialog going with the park managers to deal with this issue, reopen the boulder, and mitigate climber impact in the future.

Description
Start from the nice 10 finger horizontal edge that is just out of reach for most folks without the help of a pad or boost. Move up witht eh right into a nice sidepull/undercling and if you can get it a thumb catch. If you are short move up left first to the triangle pinch then into the sidepull. Get into a scummy backstep and cross to the triangle, you may have to take it just as a sidepull first but it is best to get your thumb around. You can also move to this first with your right and match off of another hold out left. Fall out of the cross or match and hit a right gaston, adjust your left hand and get your feet way up onto a sloping 2 finger size edge, gun for the slanting jug just below the lip. If you are short there is a pretty good edge a bit lower. Match up on the jug and top out with ease.
