One of the best single boulders in the dacks, the best in my option. So far..... This is not a super new boulder it was found many years ago by the developers of nine corner lake. But never climbed on. Maybe due to the height and there was a huge death spiked tree underneath the whole backside. Then about a year ago after some dedicated work scrubbing, rapping and maybe some chainsaw action. This boulder came into full effect. It now hosts about ten lines all at least 3 stars in my opion and some 5 start problems for sure. In the range from v0 to v11. The whole boulder is tall !!! Bring you pads ! Landing is not to terrible, well at least on the one side. The boulder is located off of route 29a or 10. Going north its about 5 min before you would hit the trail head for Nine Corners lake. After you past throught where green and canda lake meet there is a small gas station\marina on your left park on that side right past it. Then walk to the oppisote side of the road to the left of a blasted outcropping, then straight up the side of the hill. In about 3 min you will reach this huge boulder good luck !

just fyi the problems that are known on this boulder are: from right to left from the picture shown are: I think it's v2?(v? scare factor), unamed v6(iceman's arete), luck of the Irish(v8/9), Irish car bomb(v11)sit to luck of, conjugal visit sit(v5) conjugal stand(v4). aroud the corner is the rail problem(v3) and the unamed we hope the good hold doesn't break problem(v?) on the slab side there are 2 good slab climbs no names or grades, but good none the less(not hard) this is not gospel but gives you a start point. this boulder is rad and should not be missed. and for the guys who were there to send with me sorry if I screwed anything up.
I forgot to say in my last post that the problem names and grades are just names and grades that all of the guys who developed it would know what ya mean if they ever really decide on real names this could all change. still a good start.
sit to luck of the Irish is call pot of gold, rail problem is prolly v4/5
conjugal stand is more like v3.
