The first developer of this area has been bouldering at the Flakes since the late 1990's. The Flakes is in the woods and somewhat obscured from easy viewing down the hill.
The Flakes area is about 100 yards uphill from a police station. Climbers must be discrete, keep quiet, no super bright colors, etc. Keeping a low profile is essential to maintain the use of this area.
Description
This is a great looking traverse that begins just to the right of Romano's Arete. Begin on overhanging horizontal holds that moves into a shallow overhanging corner. This part has been done already. Move around the corner on smaller horizontals and continue to the other end of Flake 1. This may be the hardest problem at Garrett Mtn when completed. This problem is on clean rock and features some interesting holds. It's been tried for 15 years and a first ascent by some talented boulderer would be a welcome relief to this reporter who put in hours failing to complete this problem.
