Description 

This excellent boulder is located on the west bank of Lower Dream Canyon, at the base of the talus below the Plotinus Wall. The traditional access is via the Boulder Falls area. However be forewarned that this is technically illegal.

There are multiple problems, including Freedom & Amendment, here in this idyllic setting.


L->R:

A. The Amendment, V10/11, 20'.
B. Freedom, V10.


Getting There 

More specific beta for locating the boulder. On the hike up to the Plotinus Wall (Lower Boulder Falls), there's a sizeable boulder at the base of the talus, just west of the creek with an obvious cave, facing south.

The Amendment V10-11  CO : Boulder Canyon : Freedom Boulder
The Amendment is just above Boulder Falls 50 feet from the waters edge and 75-100 yards from the falls. The problem traverses into an existing boulder problems called Freedom. Start on the left side of the boulder and traverse on bad slopers into Freedom. Finish Freedom. Freedom is rated V10, with the Amendment being more difficult, so the 10/11 grade is given. Maybe easier, may be harder than 10/11....[more]
