A recent Squamish addition with a high density of great quality boulders with high quality granite similar to Paradise Valley/Chek. The rock is more featured and steep, a refreshing style for Squamish.

Park at the Porteau Cove lookout. Walk along the highway North towards Squamish for 100 meters. The trail cuts right into the forest 5 meters before the "Porteau Cove" turn-off sign. Follow the trail along the creek which leads directly to the Entroducing boulder. From there the trail is obvious and leads straight to the main talus above (1km).

Awesome climb! Left hand pinch is quite sharp. Be warned. The movement makes up for it
