Height dependent problem with a great variation of movement.

Quarryman

Top of the Pyramid

Low Tide Bow Tie

Stand start with hands on each side of a triangular ledge and tiny feet on the slightly overhung face below the ledge. Kick a right foot out to the jug hold on Quarryman and lever yourself onto the <1ft wide sloping triangular ledge and make a big reach straight up to a curving edge at the top lip. Maneuver on this hold and the ledge below to make another big reach across the top of the lip to a few decent holds on the left that give way to a great jug for the finish.

This boulder begins on an obvious left hand sidepull and right undercling feature near the arete of the boulder that hangs over the river. Trend up right and pull onto the slab to finish.

This beautiful boulder is miraculously plopped on a neighborhood creek bed in McLean, with no other boulders in close proximity. The gneiss holds are wonderfully cut and spaced for enjoyable climbing. Many of the potential climbs are hosted over the creek, so a water landing or low water levels come in handy. This boulder has room for future development, including difficult low start problems. Approach time is less than 5 minutes from the car.
