Flatrock Mountain is a bouldering area being developed by Neal Knitel. Parking is on NY 28, 1 mile south of the parking area described for Middle Settlement. The parking area is on what looks like the old NY 28.
The boulders are on the south side of NY 28 (same as the parking area), and are scattered over the northwest side of Flatrock Mountain. There are also some very short cliffbands that run parallel to the ridge which have potential for toprope climbs and highball problems. This area has significant potential, as there are countless boulders scattered through the woods.
The first boulder that was climbed is the house-sized boulder split in half 18T 494628 4835056, visible from the road as you approach the parking area from the south. There are 5 established problems here, with potential for more difficult problems on the overhanging side facing the road.
Another boulder just south of the house-sized boulder holds Horn-It, a problem involving a one-handed mantle to a slabby finish. 200 yards to the south is yet another boulder with several problems and projects. One is an overhanging fingercrack, and the other is a rounded arête to a friction finish.
this info was taken from the interwebs.

So the question is how much potential and to what end? Can anyone make some comments??

Went today. The big house sized boulder has some really great potential and a few great established problems on it. Played around on this one for about an hour. Didnt get a chance to hit any of the others but looked at them...great potential on these as well! Great find!
