Description Suggest change

A nice sized boulder with good climbing on two of it's faces, and a slab on a third face. Good landing, but a crash pad is recommended for some problems. Usually not crowded.

Getting There Suggest change

Northern End of Central Park, West of the Harlem Meer. Enter via Park entrances on Adam Clayton Powell Blvd or Lenox Ave, go onto walkway immediately adjacent to the big bike path. Follow the walkway into the moderately heavily vegetated area.
