Description

A nice little boulder field located in the Burden Falls wilderness. Rock cleaning suggest they are undone. Some lines still out there. The place is pretty small, with all current lines being within less than a hundred yards of each other.

Getting There

5-10 mins. 37.561278, -88.653295 Park at this pull-in, walk down the path a ways until the fork of orange tape (37.562454,-88.652516), follow the left set (the right set is most likely a hunters that I repurposed form the from the car park to the fork). That being said It is pretty sparse. follow the cliff right with the end of the tape, leads to 37.563519,-88.653060 . Walk down the second set of rubble, you should be able to walk down easily. This should put you at the top half of Fly Mode. The High Roller is down a tier 37.563514,-88.653390 approx here. See aerial topo photo to get oriented.
