Description Suggest change

A large cluster of beautiful white boulders that were once hidden under moss are located below the Spring Mountain climbing area. With 60+ established problems in one location within 5 minutes from the car, it makes this a great spot for a weekend trip. It is in a very shaded location, making it good for the hotter days.

Getting There Suggest change

This shares the same campsite as Spring Mountain.

From Darrington, head south on Mountain Loop Hwy for approximately 16 miles, the pavement ends around 8-9 miles. Then turning left on FS 49. Drive another 2.5 miles. There will be a pullout with a campsite.

From the campsite, cross the road. Walk to the V3 boulder, which leads to the main cluster.

A Northwest Forest pass is required for parking here.

David Tower and I scrubbed this one off about 5 years ago, and called it the "Monkey Joke Boulder". It's on the main trail to Spring Mountain, and may be the same as the "Unknown Boulder" on your map. <br> <br> We were naming the L-R traverse in the picture "Is this going somewhere?", but neither of us ever linked it. Start on the L; top out when you get to the notch near the R. It's not too hard; maybe V4, and it's a great safe line.

Distance between boulders not to size. It will make sense when following the trails. No boulder is further then 10 minutes from the car.
