Description

This boulder has a slightly overhung face and a very short approach. It is in the Falls area.

Getting There

This is directly up and across the road from The Falls parking lot. Walk the road about 30 yards towards the entrance, then head directly up the hill to your left. The boulder sit obviously all alone with a perfect landing amongst wood chips. It is only about 20 yards uphill. This problem was exposed after the park cleared scrubs all along the back entrance road.
