Any info on the name and/or grade of the 25' TR (or highball boulder problem) in campsite #2? Two bolts make an anchor at the top right of the slightly overhanging face.

Thanks!

That has been done since the 1960s, first as a toprope, then as a highball/solo.

As far as I know, it was always considered 5.10, (before the days of a,b,c, and d.) and is just called "the campground boulder."

As soon as I saw the name of your post, I thought about that boulder.

Thanks! Guess I derived the name of the climb without evening realizing it. Campground Boulder, North Face, Direct.

I've never heard it called anyting other than the Campground Boulder. The line you're referring to is 5.10. The arete forming the right edge of that face is also very good.
