Description

A nice warm-up for the other problems in the Hobo Cave area. Starts with left hand on the slopey sidepull and right hand on the really nice flat hold in the picture. Make your way up the face - all the holds are on.

The establish at the start is the toughest part, but the feet are really good. A heel below the left hand start hold allows you to easily set up for the rest of the problem. The actual climb up the face is all jugs.

Once you top out, enjoy the photogenic view of the waterfall and the other boulderers across the stream - you earned it!

Location

Facing the Hobo Cave, walk through the cave towards the stream, and the boulder is the last one before the water on the right side. Alternately, the boulder is the one directly behind the top out of the Dirty Mike problems.
