This a dyno starting on the crimp rail right of the arete from there dyno to sharp jug at the top.

 

Nothing on this rock feel like actually bouldering, but this one comes close. It is a super contrived eliminate, but it is fun. Sit start the front right corner and traverse right keeping your hands to the holds on the face and not on the big ledge 4 ft off the ground. Then move up topping out just left of the plaque making sure not to use the left arete. The video makes the words clearer.

 

Locate a rail low on the back side of the boulder. Start sitting on the right side of the boulder and traverse out left through some gastons into jugs up the left arete.    Top out having enjoyed a boulder problem in the state of Florida.

Located at (27.241978, -82.314414) just past the south entrance of the Myakka River State Park is possibly the only freestanding "boulder" in the entire state of Florida.    This boulder is a sort of natural stone conglomerate, mortared together to make it roughly 9' tall and of a decent size around on all sides.    There is a plaque located on the front of the boulder indicating that the park was designated in 1966. 

  There is no other stone located in the park, and while bringing climbing shoes could be fun, you would likely go here to ride on an air boat or see the forest canopy via a nature walk, where you can gain some more elevation by stepping up to the top of a 76 foot wooden tower that rises above the tree tops.   It's a nice park, and you might even be able to touch a rock.
