Description

The largest boulder at Boulder Lane. The Magistrate Boulder sits in the forest behind a giant oak tree, and has several good problems on its east and north sides. Current problems range in difficulty from VB to V4.

This spot has the feel of seclusion, but the semi-popular trail that links Churchbowl with the Lower Falls, is only about 100 ft up the hill. Also, the US Magistrate is only a hop, skip, and a jump to the west. So use caution.

Getting There

From the Roadside Boulder, cross Boulder Ln and walk past the giant oak with the rope swing on it. Follow the footpath 100ft to a grouping of two boulders.
