Freakin' troll.
Go back into your hole.
There ain't no good bouldering in the RRG!
Silly troll....

Nah, I think you found something really good. I'm waiting for someone else to say the same before I start screaming for beta on the location.

Do you really want to know where it is?
Oh Gene, why don't you just tell him?
My guess is it's been tried before without a send.
Easy to find but a hard as hell send.

It may have been tried, but not much.

besides, I need to make em work for it at least a little....

Ray asked me to post this. It's a route description in the new guide:

Hike right for about 250 feet while staying close to the base of the wall to avoid the rhododendrun jungle. Eventually you will see a 25 foot boulder with an over-hanging face and a striking highball problem awaiting a first ascent. In front of this boulder is a pair of dirty looking, low-angled cracks. Climb the cracks to a ledge and rappel from a tree to descend.

Highball, now you got me interested. Hmmmmm

I gave a REALLY big hint where it is in my little four line post. It's no secret where it is...

Well, since no one wants to play...
It's at the Dome by Diana-Mo-Hum (the route description above).
I haven't seen it but I've heard it's amazing.
