the spot
holy boulders sits in the garden of the gods wilderness, shawnee national forest, southern illinois. conglomerate sandstone boulders scattered across a hardwood ridgeline. short walk from the trailhead, long walk back after you've eaten it.
the area has dozens of problems spread across multiple landings. mostly moderate but the landings are a mixed bag. bring a big pad.
