Description

The warm-up boulder for the area, with holds EVERYWHERE! There could be infinite variables to get up this thing, but that's partly what makes it a good warm-up. After some clean-up and playing around, these are some of the patterns that seemed the most fun.

(NOTE: These descriptions intentionally avoid starting far right on the lowest point of the seam/flake. It hollows out at the start and is better not to test it.)

Getting There

From the valley trail, circle up and around the left-side of the Two Perspectives Boulder. The Bumbuster climbs are on the backside of the next boulder uphill.

Getting Down

Once you've topped, step down next to the pine tree and then head right. Use the outer fin of the chimney feature to carefully down-climb the 8-ft from there.
