A large 16 ft. boulder with a few good climbs. Far enough off the trail to offer some seclusion.
Getting There
Start on CCC trail, turn left on Potholes trails, walk 300-400 ft., turn right and walk up to the start of the talus. It's a pretty obvious boulder as you walk up on it.

Hey Paul, nice to see you guys add this overlooked bouder to the mix. I believe it was cleaned up by Eric Z. sometime around 2000-2001. we called it the pyramid bouder or something lame like that... Definitely worth an afternoon quick session as it may be one of the easiest approaches at DL. Sideshow seems a fitting name. Happy crankin'!
Thanks for the info EB I will have John change the FA :)
BTW now that I know this has been climbed, there is a really nice line directly up the middle that is tall and has a great landing. Probably around V5+, someone should go give it a shot, really cool. Otherwise John and I will get back to it eventually.
I thought that looked familar EB! It was call the Diamond Boulder due to its shape. If I recall correctly Eric Z did the direct problem Paul is refering to. The other problems I remember traversed out left (sideshow)and one that went right and then up around the corner above a boulder. I'll have to get back up there an check it out. Thanks for bringing the boulder back to life.
