Description Suggest change

The Far Side is a fun boulder with only one problem on it. Its located directly to the left of the MOW patio block. The Far Side problem starts in the shady opening of the dark cave/tunnel/gap between the MOW patio and the Far Side Boulder.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk past the overlook and onto the trail. pass the Overlook Area which spans down past The Hive Boulder and the tiny Foggy Mountain Fin. After the Fin, your basically out of the Overlook Area.

After Overlook, you will walk around a very tight left turn in the trail (30 seconds past the fin) and now you are in the SLS Area.

After the sharp turn, the next feature you will see is MOW, which is a massive double-decker boulder which looks like a huge mouth (use youre imagination... its a large patio boulder with an even larger, steeply inclined roof boulder on top of the patio).

Far Side is the sweeping boulder to the left of the patio on MOW. This is the first tall chunk of boulder in the SLS area. You actually start deep in the dark corner in between MOW patio and this boulder face.
