Acadian granite is 2.3x the density of normal granite. That boulder isn't going anywhere.

To the contrary, that boulder moves quite easily. I was dancing on it one day and it moved. The vertical boulder in the fore-ground to the left of the hex moves even easier. Definitely wouldn't put a cam on that one.

All that said, it's hard to build an anchor for those climbs without those boulders, and I've used them more than once. But someday it's gonna get someone in trouble
