This boulder probably has a name and problems, but I am unsure. It is easily visible off the AT, to the south. Faces north.

The "steps" are to the right. Please let me know the name if it has one.
If you break left at the "steps" off the AT, past the highball with a roof cap, this is one of the first boulders you come to.

Right off the trail, before the "steps". Probably has a name.
It's hard to get a sense of scale, but this is actually a massive highball. Probably more suited for routes. Hike away from the Capstone boulder in the direction the roof points (like it's a cannon and you're the ball).

Visible from the AT. South of trail, faces northwest.
Visible from the trail, easiest to see when hiking northbound. South of AT, Faces west.

Northwest of AT, faces northwest, along the first half mile (before the AT switches to be in front of the ridge line) Not visible from trail.

Northwest of the AT, faces northwest (not visible from trail). Within the first half mile.
Don't know if this has a name but it is a gorgeous boulder with some potential harder lines. Break left from the AT before ascending the "stairs", keep going past some boulders to find this beauty.
