Working another problem on pocket rocket. This one has some nice reaches, and a slope top out. Kind of a trust your gut type of dyno move for me.

Hey man, This boulder is known as "Pocket Rocket". It's also located on private property, there has reports of the owner firing his weapon at climbers. May 10, 2011

As long as you stay a respectable distance from the housing, climbing is A-Ok. Pocket rocket also has several differnet routes on the same face. The standard center start, the pinch start to the right, and the around the corner start on the far "under" left. This boulder was chipped during the mid 80's by a local climber, and has many climbers from that time frequent it. Great for laps and endurance training. Mar 3, 2012

The only way this thing is V3 is if you climb to the lip and downclimb back to the starting pockets.... And thats from the far left pockets! We have always referred to it as "Peanut Boulder" and there is another sweet problem that climbs some solid patina flakes on the trail to Peanut/Pocket Rocket boulder. Aug 27, 2012

Much easier then V3. The holds are perfectly drilled. Regardless, the boulder is a blast to climb! Lots of jugs! Jul 12, 2014
