Description 

This oddly named blob of granite is located immediately upstream from the First Broken Arrow, and offers two diminutive routes. This area is known for having two of the steepest routes at Gilman. If you like bigger holds on steeper cliffs, this is the crag for you.

Unfortunately the anchor situation here leaves a lot to be desired.

Getting There 

Approach as for the Broken Arrows. Once across the river, head up stream past the Broken arrows to a short buttress just before the trail disappears into water.
