Description

I have controversially claimed the first ascent of what is possibly the easiest boulder problem in all of Washington. For extra V points, do the sit start. 

Location

This boulder can be found on the approach trail, right after leaving the logging road to cut uphill towards the cliff. Look for jug rails that are so big it doesn't even matter that they are covered in moss. The problem is on the uphill side of the boulder. 

I think it’s fun to take a quick lap up this on the hike out. 

Protection

Most will be comfortable climbing this in approach/hiking shoes and without any pads. Downclimb the problem or scooch off to the left.
