This secluded and tranquil area was first explored for mining operations in the early to mid 1900's and the old road grade used for the approach is one of the few remnants of that bygone era. Climbing explorations began in the early 2000's for rope climbing walls deep in the valley. Bouldering documentation began around 2011 by Myles Berkey, Jesse Evans and Pablo Zuleta who all first braved the dense vegetation to discover not only the problems next to the trail but also the Devil's Club Forest and the Washout areas.

The latter home to one of Washington's most famous testpieces: King Slayer. Morpheus is characterized by absolutely excellent rock quality and a wide array of styles from techy slabs to overhung power-fests. There's something for everyone here and it's one of the Skykomish Valley's best areas overall. Park in the large pullout on the right 3.5 miles up the Miller River Road. Walk up the old mining road grade keeping an eye out for the first boulders after about 10 minutes. The first zone you reach will be the Cardoor/Trail Boulders. Another 5 or so minutes up the old road will get you to the Landjäger Boulder which sits at the intersection of the main trail and the washout. Head up the wash for 5 more minutes into the Washout Boulder maze or continue down the trail to the log crossing for the Devil's Club Forest area then eventually to the 420 Boulders found on either side of the trail.
