Sit start with your hands low on the arete. Pull off the ground, and slap up the blunt arete.

Hobbit Arete

Hobbit Dihedral

Start sitting on the fallen block that seems to have cleaved off to create the white dihedral feature. Start with your left hand low on the lowest crimp on the left edge of the dihedral and your right hand gaston on a sloper, find your feet, and work straight up to mantel.

This is a small glacial erratic just off the Woodland Path. What it lacks in size it makes up for in rock quality; a nicely textured granite similar to the Slanted Boulder. There are a couple easy, pint-sized sit-starts to amuse the passing boulderer. I believe it may be what's referred to as "Midget Boulder" on the map on the Wright's Park main page, but please correct me if I'm mistaken.
