This interesting block is located on top of the ridge leading south off Bald Rock peak. The boulder is about 8 ft tall and about 20 feel long. It consists of a some large grain gneiss and fine grained schist on the other. The name comes from the cleaning of a large flake that had 7 large slugs and 7 large crickets hiding behind it.
