BETA PHOTO: The business side of the Quarry Boulder.


Description 

The quarry is hidden in the trees near the south parking area. A well traveled path leads up to the entrance. An obvious single large block of quartzite sits inside the amphitheatre-like excavation. There has been some landscaping on a few sides to improve the landing zones.


Getting There 

From the south parking area and paved bike path take the first mown path up into the trees. At treeline follow the path right which leads to the quarry's entrance. Walk time is less than 5 minutes.

Several V0 to V2 variations can be done on the "backside" of the boulder with less than desirable landings. Pad and spotter are recommended. The 45 degree overhanging SE side of the boulder has an excellent committing problem that traverses right until going up and over the lip at an undercling. I haven't finished it but would probably be V6/7. Anyone out there sent this?

I've tried this problem as well - it's hard! Keep working it Doug - this would be a badass send!

Coner, could you move the two pics you posted in this area to the new East Quarry Boulder area? It might reduce confusion. Make sure to post some pics when you send the hard line on the Quarry Boulder.

I didn't put the East Quarry Boulder pics up on this page. But I know the person who did. So I could ask him to move it. But yeah I will for sure have a lot of pictures IF i send it....don't wanna jinx myself.
