Description
This is a really nice problem with one of the more classic slopers to hold in the Flatirons. It climbs a bulge on the north side of the Potato Boulder in BH's Best of Boulder Guidebook (or maybe it's the Egg, anyway it's obvious when you are there). The guidebook seems to call it "The Middle Spud", V3(!?). I am not sure if this was a FA or not. Go do it!
SDS on 2 nice edges, move your right hand up, make a big move left to the killer sloper, and bust to the lip...a fantastic hueco-esque problem. Go do it.
Location
This is the best part...only about a 15 minute (tops) hike from Chautauqua, making it a great quick hit. If you head northwest from the boulder, you hit the Royal Arch/2nd and 3rd Flatiron trail junction pretty quickly. From there, you could access the Ssatellite Boulders if you need more bouldering.
