Location

Just below and left of the Cougar Face.

Description

This is the best boulder on the hillside. It starts on a rail with good holds and ends slightly right. There are several variations. The original route went straight up and was V4. A hold broke making for a slightly different finish and bringing the grade down a bit. Overall a beautiful, steep boulder problem on positive holds!

Protection

One pad and a spotter. Flat landing.
