[Hide Comment] We we're somewhat sketched out by the small boulder at the top of this route. It doesn't seem super stable, and its certainly perched on the edge. If it came loose it would be bad for the belayer. Maybe a local wants to trundle it, but being from out of town we didn't feel like it was our place to do so. Jul 24, 2017
