Description Suggest change

This boulder is one of the largest in the Park. It is also home to some of the most difficult lines and projects in the park. It too has the shortest and easiest approach, nearby restrooms, a playground, picnic shelter and a drink machine. Life is hard, right?

This boulder stretches nearly 60 feet or more in length. It has two sides; the first you come to is short and has a shallow overhanging bottom leading up to a vertical top-side. As you walk along this side the height grows in height until you get to the arête where the overhang is above your head you top out at about 12 feet. Around the corner past the arête the face become massive and steep. It also continues to become taller, reaching 18 feet in some places.

Getting There Suggest change

Park in the center parking lot. walk out to the left entrance of the lot, across the road, up the trail through the dense rhododendron. pass the picnic tables and walk around to Olympus. (40 second walk) If you walk for more than a minute, you have done something very wrong.
