Description Suggest change

This is a great bouldering area, with several classic traverses and several more classic straight up problems.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the obvious Capstan Rock and head across the road and downhill for a few feet to a long wall coverd in pockets with a small boulder next to it that resembles a golf club.
