Good sized boulder with a few solid problems nearby as well. 

Getting There

Head south on the Seward Hwy until Mike Marker 101. Park in the large Bird Creek lot(with bathrooms).

[Hide Comment] Worthy boulder to visit that exhibits uncharacteristically bomber rock by highway standards. Anybody got more highway boulders that aren't in the guide to post? :) May 3, 2021
