Description 

Perhaps the most beloved boulder in all of San Luis Obispo. Since the area is limited in outdoor bouldering possibilities, she's a well developed little guy with a slabby topout and easy walk off. Don't be surprised if you see little kids and dogs waiting to greet you on the top. Gentler than her brother Pete, you'll find a lot of people working her subtle nuances. If this were the Happies, she'd only have two or three problems, but since it's SLO, there may be well over 20.


Getting There 

From the main trail up Bishop peak, you'll look up and see two obvious boulders, Chlorissa's the one on the right. You can't find it? This website isn't going to help you.
