[Hide Comment] If I recall the story on this correctly, Jeff was trying to send this problem but was having a high gravity day. Then Eric Z jumped on it and sent it calling it the Giese Dome. Jul 15, 2009

[Hide Comment] Great boulder for a quick hit. Easy approach, good landing, and dries up soon after a rain Sep 10, 2019

[Hide Comment] It looks like a big piece of this came off. I hadn’t tried this one before so I’m not sure when, but a video I found from three years ago was before the break. Jun 17, 2022
