Description

A mostly shady boulder with many jugs at a decent height. Mostly easy problems make this a great boulder to take people new to outdoor bouldering or for a quick solo warmup/cool down session without a pad.

Getting There

From the parking next to the bathroom at the start of Lost Horse Road, walk west following the faint trail and signs for the climber access trail.
