Description 

Anyways, this massive boulder has many problems on it and the rest of the area around it has great potential. The entire east face (all 60 or so feet of it) is lined with great landings and good holds, just to be topped off with an awesome downclimb on the other side. So, no need to worry about how to get down from this big guy.

I'm gonna get a map made up soon for this area.


Getting There 

This boulder is a littler harder to get to than the main Chinese Algebra area. Instead of heading down the trail after crossing the creek, you head up it. Moving your way up and through the brush to a clearing. From this point, you'll follow an game trail that heads through the open field towards the base of the cliff (west). Wind your way along the trail - don't give up, keep going - and you'll hit it sooner or later. The entire area has many big blocks with a lot of good climbs on them.

This is one of the most complete problems in the valley. There is a little bit of everything in this guy: pockets, crimps, big slopers, pinches, and a dyno to top it all off. The line goes up and right and incorporate's a large jug FAR RIGHT after the series of crimps. From here, move up to the apex of the boulder and top out...[more]   Browse More Classics in CO

Once you see this boulder on the trailhead up towards it... you'll cruise up and eventually hit an open "field" - follow the game trail until you hit the bouldering area.
