This is a fragile alpine bouldering area and following Leave No Trace principles is important. Never stash pads. Do not alter landings, chip or glue holds, or remove or alter vegetation. Walk on hard surfaces such as boulders or established trails. Store your gear on boulders instead of dirt or vegetation. Clean up spilled chalk and tick marks and brush holds. Keep your presence low key and unobtrusive. Pack out everything you brought and anything else that shouldn't have been left there. RMNP rangers are very aware of the impact that bouldering has on this environment.

This boulder is home to two of the most classic problems in the park, Tommy's Arete and The Automator. The formation is massive but relatively low making it a bit tricky to find.
Getting There
From the Centaur Boulder, head west and a bit north (right) to the height of land, just a bit past the Skyscraper Boulder. About five minutes should do it. Look for a boulder with a striking well-featured SE arete and a very steep east face.

What are those two boulders on the right of Tommy's Arete? Both start on the same holds as Tommy's, but after the first three moves you move to the right.
