Description

This beautiful erratic sits proudly on a mound on the East side of Honey Hollow River. Despite being a small area with just a few lines, it is a good one to know about for an afternoon of mellow scrambling and swimming. Challenge: Can you climb them all barefoot? Some faces have likely been climbed before, but I scrubbed some moss off of several other sides and now the boulder has a few more lines. The side facing the river has mediocre rock quality but could clean up and become a route if someone wants to scrub it, but the rest of the rock quality is just as good as the best of Bolton's Boulders.

Getting There

This boulder can be accessed from Honey Hollow Road and is on the opposite side of the stream from the road, meaning access can be difficult and/ or wet when the river is high. The best parking is a pull off on the left with a yellow fishing informational sign as well as several small boulders on the edge of the hillside. The parking is about a minute drive up hill from the Honey Hollow Boulder, or you can hike upstream from the honey hollow boulder for ~5-10 minutes. If you park at the pull-off with the fishing sign and a few small boulders there is a distinct trail that heads upstream. Follow this trail for ~50-100ft and then cross the river. It is hard to see the boulder from the river or the opposite side of the river where the trail is, but if you cross the river and scramble up the bank you'll see it.
