Description Suggest change

This is the portion of Hemlock ledges developed by boulderers, generally centered around the Hand of Man Cave and to the left.

The Hand of Man Cave, known especially for Work of Man V11 and the classic V3 roofcrack Manhandled is roughly right of center of the ledges and should be pretty obvious as the blocky cave structure up the hill as you approach Hemlock.

To the left of the cave there is a break and there is an overhanging bouldering wall up the hill a bit with a couple nice easy warm-ups on the right and Supernormal V9 on the left.

Moving further left the wall reconstitutes itself, generally being about 25 feet tall and covered with holds. Use you best judgment on whether you want to throw a TR up or highball /solo. There are many trees up top for anchors. There is a lot of mostly easy traversing potential if you bring some scrubbing tools.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow same approach for the tr crag and then head left along its base.
