Description

Beautiful face with a decent landing. Start matched on a nice slopey edge, with a good foot out right. make some big moves to an engaging topout. Grade is probably height dependent.

I'm guessing this thing has been "FA'd" several times over the years since it's in the vicinity of many other established blocs...if you know an older name, please share. 

Location

Waaaay up the hill above Big Bend boulders proper. If you can find the Chevy Van, keep going up and slightly right.

38°39'15.48"N 109°28'57.08"W

Protection

at least one big pad is nice. The area around the landing is a bit jagged...consider bringing a friend to spot.
