Description

This is a large, egg-like boulder easily identified by a distinctive flake off to one side, a finger crack that weaves/wraps & bends around the boulder, and a beautiful off-width running the vertical face.

The landing is clean for the most part, but topping out does get some highball exposure.

It is a really unique boulder that will most certainly take on many more problems and variations.

Getting There

From "Morph Dusseldorf", you will want to head Southwest, essentially walking a straight line along the hillside. You will drop down into a small clearing, at the other side of which the forest thickens and takes you slightly back up hill to the very distinguishable "Mother of Invention Boulder". It is approximately a 10 minute walk from Morph.
