Description

Boulder directly in front of Triangle Boulder when you are walking towards Stem Gem. There is a reason this one is less popular than the other classics in the area, as the rock is grainy and seems to not see much traffic. Perhaps it might clean up if more people climbed it, but until then it is a bit of a choss pile.

Getting There

The boulder is directly in front of Triangle Boulder when you are walking towards Stem Gem. Most of the climbs are somewhat bordering a popular spot for tents, so make sure to ask the residents before setting up your pads.
