Description

Start underneath the boulder, nearly on your back, with you fingers in a wide, sharp, pocket portion of the crack. lift up and out to the lip just beneath the boulders edge. bring your left foot up to the pocket and toss up to the slopey ledge for a horsepens like top out battle.

Location

From the "Shang-High" Boulder, continue down the trail to the second lookout (and walking up the stairs to enjoy the view of course) and continue past it. this part of the trail seem boulderless.. Continue past the look out for 5 minutes and you will find the seemingly short, elongated "Autumn Boulder". upon further inspection you will see that the boulder continues underneath for about an average of 8 feet.
The "Autumn-Matic" problem is the closest problem to the trail and starts on the sharp finger crack, that runs underneath the boulder. start in the wide portion that you can get you fingers into, and follow it up to the slopey ledge lip to top out.
