Mothership Boulder

(11 routes)

An awesome UFO-shaped boulder with a 20 degree overhanging wall, big jugs and a nice flat landing. In winter, the base of the boulder acts as a natural drainage point for the water in the surrounding area (in other words, a pond), making this a summer-only climbing option unless you are feeling confident. The problems described here are a sample: mix and match to form your own.
