Description Suggest change

A misnomer, these little boulder fields are beyond and mostly above the level of Horse Rampart.

A few spread out boulder problems in between Horse Rampart on the north, the East Bluff trail above, and Balanced Rock to the south.

Getting There Suggest change

These problems lie near the same elevation as Horse Rampart and Balanced Rock. The easiest approach to most problems for those already familiar with the area is from the top, the East Bluff.  If this is your first time trying to find this area, Jockey Rocket is easy to find from Horse Rampart.  The Bunker area is easy to find from Jockey Rocket.  The Right Balance and Thoroughbred are most easily approached (and found) from the Balanced Rock trail.
