I remember Jeremy showing us photos of this boulder. I'm not sure if he ever got out there to boulder on it. Too bad there aren't more of them around.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

I tried to get to it once... do not trust the available maps. I could not find a way to get within walking distance of it. Also, I doubt the coordinates are right. There were no boulders at all in the area.

Looks like you need to use ATV trails to get to it. I intend on mountain biking there in the Spring. Who's up for an adventure then? :mrgreen:

We could have awesome bouldering pics with this balancing rock.

Northwest of Freddy

We should make an event in the Spring to find it and if we're successful, climb it.

I was there once years ago by snowmobile.... long before I was a climber. No idea how to find it now.

Hope that helps.

good news: you can drive a car within a 5 min walk of it. Bad news its blank! One little easy problem was all we found. There are better boulders out there but I've never seen any more in that general area. I think the road is plowed there in the winter. General area, 20KM north east of crabbe mt

Chimney rock dear deersdale is even more impressive looking, but also sucks!
