On Saturday morning Whitney and I (Pablo) went out to a new small cluster of boulders.  We ended up climbing a few slabs and found some other cool lines in the area, but had to head back early on Sunday.  On our way back, we drove by the green gate and noticed quite a few cars parked there.  Didn't get a chance to head up to Morpheus this weekend but heard a few people were up there climbing and feeding the mosquitoes.

      Located way up the North Fork of the Skykomish is an alluring piece of house sized granite which has deeply embedded itself into the cobble floodplain. Last Sunday Cole, Issac, Emma and I (Miles) made our way out to this amazing new ( well new to a chalky touch) river boulder.

       Several years ago, Isac Ostrostrom and I found this boulder on a "bicycle/Scooter" expouldering quest along the Index-Galena road. However, before I charm ourselves with discovery, it should be known that we neither found, nor were the first to climb it. But, who cares, here she is:

A long afternoon window of sun and a mountain river is what separates it from the cool, ancient forest that surrounds it.
