Here is a fun place to boulder on the way up or down the 14. It's off the Burro Schmidt Tunnel road about 2 miles off the 14 and about a 100 yard walk to the boulders.

Williamson Rock, 1983. Climbing with a few members of the Burbank HS X-country team. We would tell the coach we were,going for a long run and load up the car and head for Williamson.

I dug out more old obscura. It's been 40 years since I've been down there, but as I remember, somewhere high on a ridge near Waterman Mt., Kratka Ridge area, I dragged Cifra up the south side of Angeles Crest Hwy toward some outcrops barely and infrequently visible from the road (fires may have opened the view?) somewhere near this Cloudburst area (on which we also did a few routes)
Seems like it took 1-2 hours to get to the ridgeline of Waterman (no trails) through big pines where we clean-climbed some one pitch crags that were fairly solid and several Horse Flats/Mt Pacifico quality boulders like this one. Maybe you guys can tell where it is from the background. Haven't located it yet on Google Earth. I would go back up there. (There's the Halibut Hat again)
Found a few photos of what we called Alder Creek. The pictures show about the top 1/2 to 1/3 of the crags. This may have been the trip that Sorenson and Yeary went with me? This place shows up really well on Google Earth.
We found some enjoyable boulders in Big or Little Tujunga Canyon too, near a waterfall with a cube-like formation.
Edit:
Jeff, Yes that's near Winston Peak. That might be Mt. Pinos/Frazier Mtn area in the far distance of the second photo-it was a clear day.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Keith. Tobin was like a kid in a candy shop in those days.
I guess the Secret Stash was never much of a secret,eh Jeff?. There is some tall stuff down the north side of Winston.
So much choss, so little time!

Bat.... hi. I went looking for that boulder.... it's not EZ to find.
So it's about 2 miles (east ?) of 14?
It's not visible from road??
So I should set the odometer to zero then drive 2 miles and look around.
about 100 yards?

Guy,
Let me see if I can screenshot google earth for you. I'll have to get my son to help with that first.
Back soon.

10b4me - That's a little left of this place, main wall. Nice pix, Anxious.
Tony Y - Only met Tobin that one time, but it seemed he was always smiling, like a happy, really pleasant kid.
Dr.F - Some of those crags at Turtle Peaks look like they might be solid enough ?, but I've never climbed there.
