Description

This is a sunny, exposed group of boulders and short routes. Generally this area sees mostly boulderers because there is a fairly good circuit of V0-V3 boulder problems.

Getting There

Park at the pullout for Cyclops Rock and walk past it heading towards the Manx boulders. Walk around the Manx boulders and head southeast for about 10 minutes.
