Description 

This large, flat meadow is split by a seasonal stream with the distinctive Abba Boulder (aka The Cube) located near it's west edge.

Several great problems are to be found here, including The World's Hardest V2 (V1), Feel's like a Virgin (V3 R), Dancing Queen (aka The Cube) (V5), Right Gold Crack (V5), Butterscotch (V6 R), Which Way Jose (V9 R) and The Depression (aka Mosquito Cove) (V9).

Getting There 

Approach from Frank's Roof or Trailside Kingdom by heading uphill (away from the main hiking trail) over a small, rocky hillside and down the back which will get you to the edge of a meadow where The Cube will come into view.
