Description 

Though it's very low to the ground, this is not as ass-draggy as you might think. The footholds are quite good, which makes it easy to keep off the ground. Start way on the right on a large slopey ledge, then make several moves left towards the low crimp rail on Cyclops, finishing up it. With so many moves, this climbs more like a route than a boulder problem, and the biggest challenge may be overcoming the pump.

Location 

In the "Back Nine" area, on the "Cyclops" boulder. Follow the trail past Deception, White Trash and the Mono doigt walls to this boulder with a conspicuous softball-sized cyclops eye about 8 feet up.
