Description

A quality boulder with a perfect landing, natural seats for your friends and a super easy walk-off. 3 projects exist so far, two of which are proving to be very difficult.

Getting There

From the JBL trail, walk past the approach trail and continue on (no more than a minute) to the first patch of smaller boulders sitting directly on the trail. From here, you'll see a small dip in the hillside on the right with a large, vegetation-covered boulder perched right at the crest. Enter the woods here (be mindful of a small black cable that is protruding from the ground) and walk past the dirty boulder. Head down the small hill and Guru will appear behind you. From the trail side, it appears nothing more than a dirty, small slab, but the clean face is facing the small stream and can't be seen until you pass it.
