Description Suggest change

Three tiers of boulders sitting on the lower hillside below the Gun Show trail. The upper few are lowballs, the middle three are large chunks closely in a line, and the lowest is the famed Silencer boulder.  

Getting There Suggest change

Hike to Gun Show, take the gully and fixed rope down, then hike down past the Cable Sign zone into the clearing. Walk to skier's right around several large fallen logs, and you'll see the boulders surrounding a large tree with several branches cut off.
