About Ziggurat:

This pyramid shaped granite behemoth sits right near Seed of Redoubt, it's the largest boulder on this part of the beach and has some great routes on it, the granite is quartz mixed and can be quite slippery in spots with only dimples avalible for footing and crimps for hand holds working through these leads up to descent edges near the top. The boulder is roughly 25 feet tall at it's peak with three distinct ridges making the pyramid shape. There is also a couple nice over hanging sections on either side. It is an easy decent off the back side onto the bluff or back side right if you don't want to get your shoes dirty you can just hop onto the surrounding boulders to stay out of the dirt and sand.
