Description Suggest change

Water Groove, the egg shaped 25-30 footer, is an intense V3 highball, that starts hard and eases up, but requires complete trust of some Hartmans knobs.

There is only 1 developed route on this boulder, but several possibly highball projects, similar to those in the Bishop area.

Getting There Suggest change

Drive up Kill Hill, park, look left to the egg shaped boulder, that is the Water Groove Boulder.
