"W" Boulder

This is a short problem on an overhanging prow near the Black Scratch problem.  Start on the right side and heel hook up to the prow, cut feet loose and top out on the prow, or to the left of the prow.   Also known as Ships Prow or Black Beard...

 This is a simple route that is a great warm up or one to bring those new to bouldering to. There is a large divet you can start up allowing for you to gain a hand on slightly higher. Easy to top but if you happen to fall the ground below slopes pretty decently, hence the name. Lots of other little routes for you to play on all over this boulder.

Not completely certain of the problem's name, but the boulder is covered in yellow lichen and on the bottom right corner it almost looks like an etched "W" in the lichen.  (See photo)     Starts just left of the "W".  Pull up moves to a dish in which you mantle off of (crux).  Move slightly right to thin moves up top.  It's tall, bring pads.

Lots of scattered bouldering. Lots of easy to moderate problems.
