If you are coming up, note the following:
-There are no fires allowed anywhere, including the boulder basin & group campsites.
-Please carpool, parking is limited, so if you show up and there is nowhere reasonable for you to park, you must leave. (instead of parking somewhere unreasonable).
-Bring cash to park, lots of people showing up without cash. Even if you don't camp overnight, you still must pay for day parking.
-Don't climb boulders in/ around occupied camp sites (some say ask, personally I just go somewhere else).
-Spread out a bit.

Description
A committing problem, Where Boneheads Dare entices many who come to Boulder Basin.
Start on the crescent shaped crimper and move up to the tiny crimp higher up. Once the feet are established in the starting hold, move up and slightly left to top out.
The physical / technical crux is down low. Although the remaining moves are physically easier, it's not for the faint of heart.

Location
One of the easiest problems to find, Where Boneheads Dare is on the boulder closest to the campground loop road (and facing it) between sites 21 and 20.
The most popular way to get off is to jump across a 4' span to a lower boulder north of the Where Boneheads Dare boulder is. Another option is to downclimb a V0 / V1 hueco problem on the east side of the boulder.
