Description Suggest change

The Sunset Boulder is the giant, rounded hulk nestled in the pines down and left of the trail that leads to Jimmy and Sunset cliffs, just before you get to the level boulder field where The Cube boulder is located. A few chalked crimps on an otherwise, sheer overhanging face on the uphill side of the boulder may draw your curiosity, and if you boulder approximately V6, it's worth a stop. Due to the smooth, steep nature of this giant goose-egg block, there aren't many problems, but it certainly tickles the imagination of what might be done here.

To get down from the top, the best options are on the east side. The safest bet is probably to downclimb some mossy ledges and drop off the lowest one on the northeast side, where there is a mostly soft landing. A trough on the southeast side, just left of a V-easy problem mentioned in the guidebook, looked doable but more tenuous.
