Description

The Saddle Boulder is the main attraction at The Saddles. It offers a large number of quality problems in the v8-10 range.

Getting There

From the parking area you can head downhill on the road for about 150 feet until you encounter a faint trail on the left. This trail will take you the remaining 150 feet to the boulder, which should be clearly visible from the road. Alternatively (and better) you can take the trail directly across from the parking area to the Black Wall Boulder, warm up there, and then continue down the hill to The Saddle Boulder. Both approaches take about 2 minutes.
